Proposition A was moved by Lori Higgins and seconded by Kenneth Brock; Proposition B was moved by Jody Gerngross and seconded by Lori Higgins; both motions carried 4-0 with three absences noted. - Accepted the resignation of Board Member Carrie Smith, effective Aug. 14, 2025, and voted to enter executive session at 7:18 p.m. to consider appointment to the unexpired term (motion by Lori Higgins; second by Jody Gerngross; vote 4-0).
