School board accepts closed-session agenda to discuss Danville property at 699 Old Orchard Drive
Summary
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District board accepted a motion to enter closed session to negotiate real property at 699 Old Orchard Drive in Danville under Government Code 54956.8. The agenda was adopted; the board announced it will not return to open session. Details on who moved the motion and the full vote tally are not specified in the transcript.
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District board accepted a motion to proceed to closed session to negotiate the purchase or terms related to property at 699 Old Orchard Drive in Danville.
The board's presiding officer read the closed-session agenda item as "Conference of Real Property Negotiators, Government Code 54956.8," and identified Daniel Hillman, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, as the agency negotiator. The item lists the negotiating parties as the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and Bates Stringer.
A board member moved to accept the closed-session agenda and another board member seconded. When the chair called for a voice vote, the transcript records a single "I" and the chair declaring, "Motion carries." The transcript does not identify who made the motion or seconded, nor does it provide a roll-call or full tally of votes.
After the vote the chair announced that the board would not return to open session. No public comment or substantive discussion about the property appears in the public portion of the transcript.
The matter will be discussed in closed session under Government Code 54956.8, which governs real property negotiations; the transcript does not record any outcomes from that closed session. The district said the meeting was being video recorded and live-streamed on its YouTube channel at the start of the public portion of the meeting.
The board members who identified themselves on the record during the meeting were Laura Brat (Area 3), Rachel Herd (Area 5), Jesse Vanzy (Area 1), Susanna Ordway (Area 4) and Shelley Clark (Area 2). Daniel Hillman was named as the agency negotiator. The transcript does not provide additional substantive details about the property, the negotiator's proposals, or any financial terms.
Next steps: the board moved into closed session and the public record here contains only the agenda item and the motion to adopt it; any decisions or directions from the closed session were not disclosed in the public transcript.
