Notes on tallies and method: The public transcript records many motions followed by the standard board practice of asking “All those in favor? Opposed? And abstain,” but numeric tallies or full roll-call votes are often not read aloud or captured verbatim in the transcript excerpt provided. Where specific vote counts or roll-call names were not recorded, this summary records the outcome as described by the meeting chair. The administration confirmed that approved items will be reflected in the official minutes.

Provenance: Each action above is recorded in the meeting transcript at the times shown in the official packet; the first minutes vote appears near the start of the minutes-approval block and the annual report and policy motions occur later in the evening. The administration noted the annual report will be made available to the public at least one week prior to the March 11 vote, as directed by RSA 40:13.

Ending: The board completed business and closed the meeting at 9:11 p.m.
