Board asks whether "director" means a board member and questions reserve-account wording
Summary
At the Aug. 14 first reading, board members asked whether the term "director" in DD refers to a board member or a department director and why DBDB replaces 'unreserved'/'unassigned' with 'unrestricted,' seeking fiscal and role clarity.
During the first reading of policy updates, a board member asked whether the term "director" in DD is intended to refer to a board member or to a department director, requesting clarification of role-based language. The board also questioned why DBDB substitutes the words "unreserved" and "unassigned" with "unrestricted," raising concerns about how reserve funds or accounting categories will be described.
"In DD, does director refer to a board member or department director?" the board member asked; the same speaker also asked about the DBDB terminology change. Chair Michael Reyes led the session; board members requested staff provide definitions and the fiscal implications of switching to "unrestricted" language before a subsequent vote or second reading.
