Board records motion on public information request timeline; minutes show inconsistent wording
Summary
Trustees recorded approval of an item on handling of Public Information Requests described in the motion as '10 business days,' while the agenda referenced designating 'non-business days'; the minutes show the motion was seconded and the trustee roll was recorded.
During the March 23 meeting the board addressed an agenda item to designate non-business days for Public Information Request (PIR) purposes. The minutes record: "A motion was made by Board Member Sam Lankford to approve the 10 business days for Public Information Request (PIR) as presented." Thomas Bowers seconded; the trustee roll appears in the minutes.
The board minutes record a vote/roll for the item, but the agenda header and the motion language are inconsistent (the agenda calls for designating "Non-Business days" while the motion text references "10 business days"). The minutes do not include additional clarifying language or a separate restatement resolving that inconsistency; the transcript of the meeting should be referenced or board staff queried for an official interpretation.
