Most measures were introduced by department staff and moved and seconded on the floor; the transcript records “so moved” and “second” without naming movers and seconders for each item. Dollar amounts and project names were read into the record by the clerk and department representatives.

What the board did not do: the meeting did not adopt any new county-level property-tax policies; the lengthy property-tax discussion earlier in the meeting was deliberative and did not result in a formal vote.
