Where minutes list amounts or pay-request numbers, this article reports them as recorded. Some agenda items were noted as "no action taken" in the minutes; those items are reported here as discussion items, not adopted actions. The minutes provide roll-call tallies for approved motions but do not always include full background documents or contract text in the public minutes.
