PRESENT = confirmed by the county's written roll, or by the video recording them vote, move, abstain, check in, or speak. ABSENT = excused on the record, or never recorded taking part. For 1 of these, the meeting video never records Connell taking part, so they are counted absent by default (the official minutes are the final word).
