"Other" is everything the clerk recorded besides Aye or No: excused, absent, abstaining, voting "present", or presiding without a vote, shown on each row exactly as recorded. "On the losing side" counts Aye and No votes that ended opposite the clerk's recorded outcome, of 18 with an outcome on record. Attendance is meetings where the roll call records the member present, of the meetings where the roll was called with the member listed.
