The roll call does not list Charles G. Russo, who was at the meeting, so that member is left out of this vote. The minutes give the count as 5-0 but name Daniel E. Carty (yes), Janie W. Dretler (yes), Lisa V. Kouchakdjian (yes) and Jennifer S. Roberts (yes), which does not add up with the 5 members present. Showing the count only.
