Board holds special call, enters executive session for employee investigation review and elects Herring as vice chair
The board convened a special-call meeting at 4:00 p.m. and quickly moved through procedural business, approving the agenda and holding votes on executive-session actions and leadership.

Unidentified Speaker 1 called the meeting to order and Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to approve the agenda. The chair recorded the motion as carrying "6 to 0." Shortly afterward the board voted to enter an executive session "to consider the following review of employee investigation," according to Unidentified Speaker 2, who moved the motion; the transcript records Unidentified Speaker 1 seconding and the motion carrying "6 to 0." The public record in the transcript contains no substantive discussion of the underlying investigation and provides no further detail about its subject or outcome.

After adjourning into the executive session, the board reconvened in regular session. Unidentified Speaker 2 moved that the board "come out of executive session and return to regular session," which Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded; the motion was recorded as carrying "6 to 0." The transcript does not include any formal action taken as a direct result of the executive session.

During the action agenda the body considered the election of a board vice chair. Unidentified Speaker 2 withdrew their own name from consideration before nominations ("I would like to withdraw my name from consideration," SEG 028-029). Later, Unidentified Speaker 2 nominated "mister Herring" for the position ("I'd like to nominate mister Herring, please," SEG 033). Unidentified Speaker 1 asked the nominee to confirm acceptance and called for other nominations; the motion to elect Mr. Herring was recorded as carrying "5 to 0." The transcript does not record a roll-call of individual votes or explain the difference between the "6 to 0" tallies earlier in the meeting and the "5 to 0" result on the vice chair election.

The meeting concluded when Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to adjourn; the transcript records the motion as carrying "6 to 0." No further agenda items or next steps are recorded in the provided transcript.

Why this matters

The board used executive-session authority to review an employee investigation; the public transcript provides only the motion language and the fact that the body entered and later exited executive session. The election of a vice chair fills a leadership role on the board; the transcript records the nomination and the vote but does not include a roll-call or explain the discrepancy in tallies. The meeting record in the transcript is procedural and contains no public deliberation of the named personnel matter.
