Notes on vote tallies: Many motions in the minutes are recorded as “motion carried unanimously” or “motion carried”; some motions that failed or passed by split votes (notably on mower purchase and employee pay motions) show the recorded yes/no positions in the minutes. Where minutes did not list roll‑call tallies, this roundup states outcome based on the council record in the minutes.
