Notes on vote records: the transcript records voice votes and general assent but does not provide a roll‑call tally with names for each vote. Where a mover or seconder was named in the transcript, that name is recorded above; otherwise mover/second are listed as not specified. Staff will return with follow-up materials and any required rule revisions for formal board consideration.
