The board considered defense counsel's recommendation and a mediator's proposed settlement in the active Kleinians v. Moss litigation. The chair proposed limited discussion in closed session because it is active litigation; after considering counsel's advice the board voted to accept the mediator's recommendation to settle for $112,500 as outlined in the 12/05/2025 opinion letter.

A roll-call vote showed broad support for accepting the mediator's amount; the motion passed and the board directed counsel to finalize required documents.
