All recorded roll calls in the transcript show 11 yes, 0 no, 1 absent unless otherwise specified. The meeting transcript does not provide ordinance numbers or resolution numbers for these items in most cases; where specific figures or parcel identifiers were provided (for example, the $315,000 referenced in public comment or Map 74 Parcel 14.06), those appear in the transcript and are noted above.
If staff or members need a detailed extraction of each line-item in the budget packet (line numbers, account codes, or ordinance/resolution numbers), the meeting minutes packet should be consulted; the transcript records the motions, movers/seconders when named, and the roll‑call results.
