Most of the motions were opened, seconded and approved with the meeting record stating “All in favor? Aye” and “carried.” In multiple instances the transcript records the motion maker or seconder by surname (e.g., Davis) but does not provide a full roll-call tally in the spoken record. Where the transcript records follow-up procedural notes (for example, that certain items were amended before final approval), those amendments were adopted as part of the carried motions.
