Board minutes record that the business managers—CFO Nick Valderas and Fiscal Services Coordinator Cynthia Lamas—reported under the business-manager item earlier in the meeting, though the minutes do not record additional budget detail in this special session. The board set a separate resolution to call a public hearing on the tentative budget (also approved at the meeting).
