Notes and caveats: the transcript records unanimous roll calls on each item as "yes" by the five commissioners; any absent or abstaining votes would appear on the official minutes. Numeric details (grant award totals or contract amounts) are reported in the meeting transcript but in a few places the transcript contains typographical numeric errors; the official ordinance/contract documents should be consulted for exact dollar figures and contract terms.
