Board accepts Mills Hardware disbursements for August 2026 after recusal advice

The board considered acceptance of Mills Hardware disbursements covering Aug. 1–31, 2026. Chair (S1) read the item; board members discussed whether a director should step away from the dais to avoid a conflict. A staff member (S6) advised that stepping off the dais would be "the most technically correct thing" in hot circumstances, while another participant advised full recusal if legally required. The board proceeded to vote and accepted the disbursements by voice vote.

The transcript records the name "Adina Mills" during the discussion of the Mills Hardware disbursements; board procedure and counsel guidance about recusal were discussed before the vote. No roll-call tally with individual names was recorded in the transcript.
