Where motions were presented as grouped consent items, the board took a single vote on multiple related motions. Most approvals were recorded by voice vote: the transcript records the board president asking, "All in favor?" and members responding "Aye." The transcript does not record roll‑call tallies or individual member vote records for the motions listed above.
