Board amends minutes after debate over secretary election procedure and coin‑toss controversy

At the meeting the board revisited the May 18 minutes and a contested procedure used during the board secretary election. Trustee Carmel Morgan moved to amend the draft minutes to reflect that two nominees had been voted on in a combined vote, the initial vote resulted in a tie, and that the presiding officer had indicated a coin toss would resolve the tie; Morgan asked that the official minutes record objections to using a coin toss to determine an elected official.

Board members debated Robert's Rules and appropriate tie‑breaking methods; one trustee argued the presiding officer does not break ties and that a coin toss "pulls in chance" and should not be used to decide an elected official. The board voted to adopt Morgan's amendment to the minutes (the amendment passed on a voice/hand count). The trustees then conducted a roll/hand vote for secretary: Trustee Williams prevailed by a recorded vote (4 in favor, 3 opposed). The board also approved amended minutes and recorded the no votes and objections for the record.
