Notes: Where a mover or seconder was explicitly stated in the transcript it is recorded in the project articles; for some routine consent and minutes motions the transcript did not consistently identify the mover and seconder on the record and those are noted as not specified in the action records. No public commenters addressed the two substantive projects during the meeting; the board discussed design details and requested material and lighting samples for the Anacapa project.
The board adjourned after the final items and noted any applicable appeal periods on the record.
