Notes and limits: The transcript records many voice votes with "All in favor? Aye" and then "Motion carried." Where the transcript listed mover/second that information is included above. Several items lacked roll-call recorded names for each yes/no vote; when the transcript recorded only a voice tally, the summary reflects that. If an exact dollar amount, contract number, ordinance number or other identifying metadata was not read aloud in the transcript, the entry notes that detail as "not specified."
