Other votes - Several procurement and contract items were included on the consent calendar and approved as part of that vote (see separate procurement article for details).
Notes on vote records - Where the transcript did not name the mover or the full roll call, the board recorded outcomes verbally ("passes unanimously," "aye") and those outcomes are reflected above. - The board discussed, and later prepared, a draft letter to the Utah State Tax Commission and legislators asking for statutory changes to streamline judgment levy adjustments for centrally assessed properties; no formal action was taken on the letter at the meeting.
