- Contract awards (Items M1–M18 forwarded from Building & Contracts Committee): after questions and separations, items 1–5 and 8–18 were approved by roll-call vote; items 6 and 7 were considered and approved in a separate roll-call vote. Board members asked clarifying questions about site-specific differences, bid alternates, print services scope and bottled-water delivery.
Votes were by roll call where recorded; where tallies were stated in the meeting, the minutes summarize counts (typical favorable tallies of 6–10 depending on item and rounds of voting). The board also conducted multiple formal roll-call votes in the officer-election process, but no chair or vice chair achieved the 7-vote majority required by counsel.
