In each case the motion and second were made on the record; the transcript does not consistently identify which board member moved and which seconded each item, and so mover/second are recorded as not specified where not stated. Several items had little or no public or board-level discussion beyond clarifying questions; most votes were unanimous among trustees present. Any items requiring further administrative follow-up — for example, contract finalizations, project schedules and policy implementation steps — were noted as staff responsibilities and will return to the board as needed.
