Several other personnel appointments and promotions were announced after the consent vote; the board recognized newly approved staff members who were present at the meeting. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes for these voice votes.
Board procedure note: Where a motion reported only a voice vote, the board recorded “ayes have it” rather than a roll-call tally. The board scheduled additional budget and program items for April, and administrative staff said they would return any requested materials to board members in advance of future votes.
