Notes: vote tallies printed here reflect the roll calls and voice tallies as recorded in the meeting transcript. Where the meeting transcript reports members as "excused" at the time of a voice tally, the article records the counts exactly as stated; if a recorded tally was ambiguous, the article marks the recorded statement and requests departmental confirmation in follow-up reporting.
