The board approved these minutes on September 24, 2025 without changing the attendance, so he is not counted as present and the votes that involve him show the count only.

Mr. Flynn, as Clerk, read the borrowing votes into the record; the minutes do not say who made the motion. The minutes name Sean Keegan as the seconder, but this member is not on the attendance list for this meeting, so no seconder is shown. Because the attendance list and the motion do not agree, we show the count only.
