Notes on procedural context: multiple items were introduced in planning sessions and returned for board action on Feb. 7. Several votes referenced documents in the board packet (bid tabs, finance statements, policy redlines). In some cases staff noted follow-up tasks (e.g., seeking county commission approval for the roof award, distributing therapy-dog consent forms, placing orders for SourceWell lighting).

The board used standard motions and seconds throughout the meeting; where the transcript records counts it most often records a 6-aye vote for approvals. Items with contingent approvals (roof bid contingent on county commission) were explicitly noted as contingent in board motions and recorded in the meeting minutes.
