Board certifies closed-session topics despite one member's objection

A motion to certify the closed-session proceedings passed with one dissent. "I move to certify that to the best of each member's knowledge, one, only public business matters lawfully exempted from open meeting requirements, and two, only such public business matters as were identified in the motion and during the closed session occurred, discussed, or considered during the closed session," said the member who introduced the certification motion. When the board voted, Mr. Marshall said, "I do not certify," while Mr. Kendrick, Mr. Cox, Mr. Wood and the Chair voted "Aye." The motion carried.
