Summary

A speaker asked the board to change six lifeguard positions from "part-time" to "per-diem" to avoid collective bargaining implications; the board amended and approved the consent agenda by voice vote.

At consent agenda consideration, Speaker 8 requested a wording change to the superintendent's consent item (agenda item 10a), asking the resolution be revised from creating "six part-time lifeguard positions" to creating "six per-diem lifeguard positions." Speaker 8 said the distinction avoids a potential link to a collective bargaining unit and ensures lifeguards remain temporary as needed.

The board's motion to approve the amended consent agenda (categories 7 through 10) was moved and seconded; the presiding board member called for a voice vote and the motion passed with ayes. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

The transcript records the requested amendment, the motion, a second and the chair's announcement, "Motion passes." The board did not further debate the personnel classification during the recorded meeting time.
