Notes and provenance

All motions, seconds and roll-call actions are taken from the public transcript. Several items were explicitly recorded as being "recommended for full board" rather than final adopted resolutions or contracts; where vote tallies are not fully specified in the transcript, the motions are recorded here as "approved" or "recommended" consistent with the meeting record. For full legal effect and final results, refer to the published board minutes and any subsequent full-board actions.
