Notes and qualifications: most votes were recorded by voice; the transcript does not include roll‑call tallies or named yes/no vote records for the motions. Vendor names and some numeric totals in the transcript were transcribed inconsistently; the district's official contract documents and purchase orders should be consulted for exact vendor names and dollar amounts.
