Board discussion clarifies limits set by statute and notes external investigation

Board members pressed staff on whether the district could bar people the statute permits and whether the district retained discretion in particular cases. Speakers repeatedly referenced the statutory clearinghouse (transcript says "chapter 4 35") as the governing legal framework for eligibility, and staff recommended consulting the district attorney before taking action beyond the statute. An external investigator from Tallahassee is examining the arrest referenced early in the meeting; staff emphasized Boyack is presenting policy recommendations, not the investigatory findings.
