Several approvals were explicitly noted as capital expenditures when moved by the administration.
The meeting packet and committee chairs provided additional detail for the financial and construction items; the board proceeded to accept committee minutes and treasurer reports before concluding the action items.
Formal vote tallies for many items were taken by roll call; the meeting transcript records individual board members saying "yes" or listing their votes for numerous items. The meeting did not include any failed motions among the items reported.
