At the meeting the board completed routine procedural business before announcing the tally. The Chair moved to revise and adopt the agenda to add three executive‑session items (items 2.7–2.9); a board member moved and the motion carried. The board also adopted a consent agenda covering personnel (6.1), special services (7.1) and business (8.1), and approved minutes from the April 21 and May 5, 2026 meetings.
Under new business the board moved to accept a series of grants referenced in the meeting as "BAGS signature grants '25" (items 9.1–9.5). The transcript records the motion and that it passed; no additional grant amounts or awarding agencies were specified in the meeting record.
The Chair called for questions and staff reports; none were offered. After reporting the vote tallies and completing business, a board member moved to adjourn and the meeting ended.
The board did not announce further procedural dates in the transcript. The clerk's vote tallies recorded at the meeting are the official counts as presented to the board on May 19, 2026.
