Notes and limitations: The transcript often records roll-call results as short printed lines (e.g., "Barry, yes"), and several motions did not record the mover or seconder by name in the transcript. Where mover/second were not spoken on the record, the meeting record here lists them as "not specified." All outcomes above reflect the meeting transcript roll calls and the chair's announcements.
The board did not award contracts at the meeting; the DOE solar project action authorized staff to solicit bids from two named prospective contractors and to return to the board with formal proposals.
