Mover: Sue Barnes (moved herself); Second: Herman (second recorded). Outcome: approved by unanimous verbal roll call.
The transcript records verbal "I approve" and "Aye" responses from board members in the meeting room; no roll-call tallies with written names were entered in the record. No contested votes or abstentions were recorded.
Ending: These procedural approvals complete the board’s regular housekeeping business and set Sue Barnes and Chair Shannon Blair as the shared liaisons to the Board of Public Utilities until the board revises assignments or membership changes.
