Where the transcript did not record named roll‑call tallies, the summary reports outcomes as recorded in the public minutes and in the meeting transcript as affirmative voice votes. Names of movers and seconders were recorded in the transcript for many motions but the transcript does not consistently provide full names for every mover/second; the actions listed above match the motions presented in the meeting record.
