Notes and procedure
- For several items the board approved motions without individual roll‑call vote attribution in the public record; the clerk read out the overall tally where provided. - Some items (personnel reductions, staffing changes) require subsequent administrative action and human resources processes before any employee notices or specific reductions occur. The board's vote authorized those processes; specific positions and counts are finalized later in the HR process.
How we verified: Each outcome is stated as recited aloud by the clerk or the president during the Jan. 28 meeting and as recorded in the meeting transcript.
