From January 13, 2026 to October 6, 2026. 4 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.
