During 'Old Business' staff (identified as Mel / Unidentified Speaker 5) presented a handout summarizing insurance policy renewals for 2026. The presentation noted new carriers for workers' compensation and professional liability/directors-and-officers insurance and reported that current premium estimates were about $5,000 below what had been budgeted for the year.

Mel stated that misconduct coverage was not included in the main renewal packet because it is being written as a separate policy and was still in underwriting. When asked about potential additional cost, Mel estimated it would "probably be another 1 to $2,000 more."

The chair asked for a motion to approve the renewal "as presented." A motion and a second were made, the board voted using their voting process, and the insurance renewal was approved.

The board was advised that year-end accounting effects (pending sales-tax receipts) will mean November financials will reappear in subsequent reports, and final expenses will continue to be paid through January.
