Board approves payment of bills after conflict prompts abstention
Summary
The board removed the payment of bills from consent to allow a member to abstain for a conflict involving Pottery Lane. A motion and second were made; the board proceeded with a roll‑call vote and the payment of bills was approved while the conflicted member abstained.
The chair pulled payment‑of‑bills from the consent agenda so a board member could abstain due to a potential conflict of interest related to a contract with Pottery Lane.
The chair asked for a motion to approve payment of bills. A motion and a second were made, and the board conducted a roll‑call vote; multiple trustees answered "yes" and the item passed. The chair reminded the board that abstention is permitted only for a conflict of interest or when required by law, and one member stated they would abstain for that reason.
No detailed tally was read into the minutes beyond the roll‑call affirmations recorded at the meeting; staff will finalize the formal vote record in the minutes.
