Board member moves to bring 'no confidence' resolution against Trustee James Wolff; executive session follows
Summary
A motion to bring up a resolution of 'no confidence' in Trustee James Wolff was moved by Victoria Fisher and seconded by Kassandra Reyes; the board then entered executive session. The publicly posted minutes record the motion and the executive session but do not record a final public vote on adoption of a censure.
Board Member Victoria Fisher moved Dec. 18 to bring up a resolution of "no confidence" regarding Trustee James Wolff; Kassandra Reyes seconded the motion.
The motion appears in the publicly posted minutes as presented, with the formal vote block recorded in the document. The minutes then show the board voted to adjourn the public session and convene an executive session at 11:01 p.m. (motion by Board President Clara Williams; second Victoria Fisher). The board reconvened from executive session and Ms. Fisher moved to bring back Resolution #2 under Board Operations; that motion is recorded in the minutes, with a subsequent roll-call block. The public minutes do not show a recorded open-session adoption or rejection of a no-confidence resolution on the record.
The minutes capture procedural steps (motion to bring up the resolution, entry into executive session and a motion to bring a specific resolution back under Board Operations after the executive session) but do not include text of the proposed no-confidence resolution or a final open-session vote count on any censure.
The minutes identify Trustee James Wolff by name with an associated notation that he arrived at 8:00 p.m.; the entry in the minutes for the "no confidence" motion names Ms. Fisher and Ms. Reyes as mover and seconder. The document does not include speeches, direct quotes, or additional explanatory language for the substance of the resolution in the public record.
The board’s minutes indicate formal procedure was followed to consider the matter; however, the public minutes do not disclose the substance of the resolution or its final disposition in an open session.
