Where roll calls were recorded in the transcript, votes were recorded as passing by a majority; several first readings were approved unanimously on the roll calls shown. For agenda items where the motion record shows only a generic "All in favor? Opposed? The motion passes," outcome is recorded as approved unless a specific 'opposed' vote was announced.
