How to read these votes A tally like 2–7 means 2 yeas, 7 nays, as written in the minutes.
Minutes usually name only the members in the minority. Everyone else is shown as “not individually listed”, never as an assumed yes.
“Unanimous” means the minutes record no roll call and no dissent. They don’t say who was in the room for each motion, so a unanimous vote isn’t counted as any one councilor’s yes.
