The meeting included a roll-call vote to enter the closed session; board members recorded as voting in favor during roll call included Stephanie D.

Where a formal tally was not read aloud, the board approved items by voice vote with no opposition recorded.
Ending: Board staff will follow up with formal documentation, concurrent-enrollment agreements, budget implementation plans, and the surplus-property disposition process as required.
