In the Clerk’s words

The Clerk’s minutes text records a vote on these items, but not in a form this site reads with confidence: several motions on one item, a vote with no stated Board Action to attach it to, or a voter who is not a Supervisor, such as a sanitation district’s mayor-director. They are quoted, not counted. Why.
