Most motions were moved and seconded on the record; the transcript shows aye responses at each roll call but does not capture a full, named roll call for every vote. Where the transcript records only vocal “aye” responses, the published meeting minutes and any official roll call record maintained by the township clerk should be used for definitive tallies.
