Board approves four policy revisions and acknowledges nine policies on first reading
Jim (speaker 9 in the transcript) presented both a set of four revised policies for approval and a broader group of policies for first reading. The four policies approved on review were identified as SDC 2-20 (board member conflict of interest), SDC 5-21 (use of private vehicles in college business), SDC 6-30 (naming facilities) and SDC 9-13 (Tobacco-Free College — student version). The board approved the four revised policies by voice vote.

Jim then presented nine policies for first reading or acknowledgment and asked the board to accept them for first read. The group included a new disclosure and authorization of contractual conflicts policy (SDC 1-30, described in the transcript as Policy 1-30), revisions and new items on uncollected accounts receivable (SDC 4-31), inventories (SDC 4-32), student transportation and private vehicles (SDC 5-20), vehicle usage (SDC 5-23), on- and off-campus signage (SDC 5-32), community resource people (SDC 8-42), social media acceptable use (SDC 10-11) and a new facility-use policy (SDC 10-20).

Board members and Jim noted that many policies had been revised, created or withdrawn this year and that items would return for a second reading. The board moved to acknowledge the first reading of the nine policies and did so by voice vote; the transcript does not provide a roll-call tally.
