Board member urges pause, says hiring decision feels rushed
Summary
A trustee asked the board not to vote that night, saying key members were absent and financial details were unclear. The trustee said the matter should be studied with full information before a midyear personnel change.
One trustee pressed the board to delay any vote, describing the meeting as a rushed attempt to make a long‑term personnel decision without full information or enough members present. “I don't think we should rush into decision,” the trustee said. They noted that several board members were out of town and that spreadsheets circulated that day mixed current‑year remainder and next‑year annualized figures.
The trustee asked for a written job description, clearer spreadsheet breakdowns and more time for discussion, saying they would likely vote no if forced to decide that night. Other members countered that the HR committee had discussed the topic for weeks and that a resolution could adjust benefits if the board chose to move quickly; still, no vote was taken during the recorded discussion.
