Summary

The board approved consent items 18 and action items 19. A board member asked why a donation dated in July/October had not been approved earlier; business-office staff said the check was only recently located and has not been spent.

The board moved and approved the consent agenda for items 1 through 8 and then approved action items 1 through 9 after discussion.

During discussion of Item 7 (a donation), a board member asked why the board was approving the donation months after it was presented and questioned whether the funds had already been spent. Dr. Shanahan of the business office replied that the check had only recently been located in the business office (received in October) and the funds have not been spent; staff initiated the process to place the item on the board agenda once the check was located.

The motions were seconded and the chair called the vote; members present said "Aye" and the motions carried. No roll-call tally of individual votes was recorded on the public transcript excerpt.
