Summary

Trustee Phil Bowden attests he did not vote to auction city equipment, while the minutes say other members recall he did; the minutes note that changing his vote now would not alter the recorded 2-to-1 result.

The minutes record a dispute over a prior vote to auction city equipment. They state that "Phil Bowden attests that he did not vote to auction the equipment." The same passage says, "All other members that were present attest he did."

The minutes further note that "whether or not he remembered voting, he was present as an active member during the vote and if he changed his vote to a no, now after the fact, it would still represent a passing vote of 2 to 1." The record does not list a formal roll-call or record the original vote tally beyond the 2-to-1 statement in the minutes; no motion to reopen that vote is recorded.
