- Adoption of revised policies on staff security and weapon detection: Approved.

Several items carried by voice vote; the transcript did not include detailed roll-call tallies for those motions. Where the board directed staff to follow up, staff identified responsible departments and provided estimated timelines for reports back to the board.
