Notes and clarifications: votes in the transcript were recorded as voice votes with "All in favor indicate by saying I" and "Any opposed?" in most cases; specific roll‑call tallies were not read into the record for these items. The temporary moratorium was presented and adopted as a pause on accepting new proposals, not an approval or denial of any individual project.
