In order to make it easier to read the minutes in its entirety the minutes contain action items which represent the motions in the order in which the single items were listed in the agenda. The numbers of the actual motions are included as well. Also, motions of a purely “technical” nature (e.g. motions to go into or come out of executive session) are not included. Kay DeVilbiss (President and Chairperson for the meeting) rarely votes on any of the motions. This is why her vote is usually recorded as an abstention (except for the rare occasions that she did vote).
