Votes that were carried were recorded as voice/hand‑raise in the meeting; no roll-call tallies were included in the transcript. Where numeric details were discussed in presentation (for example, the school security grant amount), staff figures in the presentation were used; the transcript contains one inconsistent large figure later in discussion that appears to be a transcription error and is noted for clarity.
