Notes on procedure and sources: The transcript records many approvals by voice vote with the response “Aye” rather than a roll‑call or named tally. When contract or award amounts were stated in the transcript or agenda notes, those amounts are recorded above. If the transcript provided an ambiguous numeric string for an agenda reference (for example, an RFP numeric label that was not clearly enunciated), the article uses the proposer name and the dollar amount as recorded in the staff presentation.
