Notes: The recorded roll calls in the transcript show two votes recorded by name (Vice Chair Arenas and Chair Abe Koga) for each roll call; the transcript does not show other supervisors voting in that roll-call exchange. Where additional board-level votes will be required (for example, adoption of commission work plans by the full Board of Supervisors), this committee's action was to forward recommendations to the full board.
