Context and clarifications
Board members and staff noted the lease conversion to month‑to‑month before the termination notice and said the provider indicated funding uncertainty as the reason it did not expect funding to continue beyond the immediate months. The board recorded the lease’s 90‑day termination requirement and accepted the notice.
Ending: No further business was recorded during that portion of the meeting; the board moved on to a separate work session on the draft wind ordinance.
