President Anderson Pearson led a discussion about the December organization of the board and the oath of office for returning/appointed members. The board noted Director Lowry is excused from this meeting and that two members (one referenced as Dana) will be sworn in at the December meeting; President Pearson said he would not administer the oath because he will be leaving his role, and suggested Director Thomas administer the oath.
Board members informally discussed officer roles for the upcoming year. Director Thomas was encouraged by colleagues to assume the president role, with another director offering to serve as vice president; directors noted good practice is to avoid asking newly appointed members to immediately assume officer roles. The board agreed to complete formal officer elections during the December reorganization meeting after new members are sworn in.
President Pearson also raised an ethics concern after receiving an invitation to a Sodexo dinner that mentioned "Clover Park District and Sodexo leadership," advising caution and suggesting the board avoid vendor‑sponsored dinners to prevent perceived conflicts of interest.
The board recessed to executive session to discuss contract negotiations and a complaint against an employee; the president announced the executive session would last approximately 60 minutes. After returning, Director Thomas moved to adjourn; Director Kim seconded. The motion carried and the meeting adjourned.
