Item 31.1 · memorialization · Memorialized · 3:24:22
4-0 4 ayes, 0 nays, roll call at 3:27:09
One roll call on 5 resolutions (item 31), split per resolution on Adam Hanford's decision of 2026-10-20: 'Gangadin not-voting on P2025-0086'. Langston answered aye but did not vote at the hearing (planning-2026-02-10, item 28) and is not-voting (rule A); Kaplan answered abstain but did not vote at the hearing (planning-2026-02-10, item 28) and is not-voting (rule A). RESO P2025-0143 (https://jerseycitynj-energovpub.tylerhost.net/apps/selfservice#/plan/61898bd7-2cd2-44cf-9754-cfbcc846123c?tab=attachments) gives hearing February 10, 2026 and memorialization March 10, 2026; its vote table is the hearing's roll call, not this one. Kaplan said 'I'll abstain on these' as not present at the earlier hearings (3:27:14); the announced count was 'Five in favor, one abstention' (3:27:20). Roll call as heard: One roll call on five resolutions. Motion read from 3:24:22 (mover not clearly named: 'Mr. Stamato. Both Stamatos.'), seconded at 12424.3 s.

I'll abstain on these' (3:27:14); Patel 'Aye' (12441.9 s, p 1.00) and Langston 'Aye' (12443.1 s). Patel's separate answer rests on the re-transcription of 12415-12461 s; the full pass ran 'Commissioner Patel and Chairman Langston. Aye.' together. Announced 'Five in favor, one abstention' (3:27:20) agrees. Held on eligibility: Gangadin answered aye on a roll call that included the resolution for P2025-0086, on which Gangadin was recused (item 8); see needs_checking.
