Where the transcript recorded roll-call votes, board members answered 'Yes' and the meeting text records the motions as passing. The transcript does not consistently record exact tallies for every roll-call item; when the record shows 'Motion passes' that was used to determine the outcome.
The board then adjourned the regular meeting and held a work session on supplement pay scales and staffing supplements.
