The transcript records routine voice votes; no roll-call vote tallies or named vote records are listed in the meeting transcript. Where the packet or staff remarks contained inconsistent numeric transcriptions (for example one garbled line for the Ditch 25 amount), the article text and this summary rely on the packet figures and the clearer statement in staff remarks.
