All votes and motions listed in this summary are drawn from the meeting minutes. When the transcript duplicated a name in one recorded vote (see timeline entry for the executive session), the published record was treated conservatively: recorded yes votes for that motion are listed only for names that appear once in the transcript’s vote line.
