These motions and tallies reflect roll-call voice votes recorded in the meeting; names were often recorded as 'Aye' without individual vote assignment in the transcript. For items where a commissioner recused or abstained, the meeting transcript notes the fact; in the CUP decision one commissioner recused for proximity to the project.
