From January 20, 2026 to October 20, 2026. 19 votes are marked not recorded because the minutes' attendance and tally don't account for every member. Each count is per agenda item, not per meeting: missing one meeting counts as absent for every item on its agenda, and consent agenda items each count separately. A yes is counted only when everyone present is accounted for in the tally. Motions count once per item, so moving a consent agenda counts for each item on it.
