Notes on voting and documentation: Most motions were carried by voice/hand‑raise; the transcript records "all in favor, raise your right hand" and "all opposed" rather than roll‑call tallies. For items that require follow‑up (development agreements, construction contracts, invoices and grants), county staff indicated they will track payments, set aside line items with the auditor and record obligations in GIS and internal spreadsheets for future audits and implementation.
