Process notes and votes
Many items were processed as routine consent matters and were adopted by roll-call vote. A handful of items drew brief questions from supervisors (for example, the 1390 Market Street subdivision in Item 34), and one item (Item 21) was referred back to committee on a supervisor’s request. Several roll-call tallies were read aloud by the clerk; where the clerk announced a final count or an "ayes"/"no" total, those totals are noted above.
