Notes on roll-call reporting

Where the transcript lists roll-call responses, trustees were recorded saying "Aye" during votes described above. The minutes and the official clerk’s record should be consulted for final vote tallies and to confirm exact wording of motions and movers/seconders; where a motion’s mover or seconder was not identified in the spoken record, the clerk’s vote sheet was used for recording.

If any of the items above require further detail for public notice or follow-up (for example, the Groveland Avenue agreement or the IRMA transfer), staff will prepare implementing documents and return them to the board or to the appropriate committee as required.
