Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda without public comment; the presiding officer called for the question and the motion passed 7–0.

IHO authorization and appointment: The board considered a resolution authorizing an IHO for the district, identifying Mr. Garner in the motion, and discussed briefly the need for future pros-and-cons comparisons of options. The resolution passed 7–0. The board also approved the recommended appointment of SAR Garrick as an IHO for the district; the transcript records the motion, second and unanimous approval.

Budget-related vote: The board later approved a preliminary 2023–24 budget (see separate coverage). All recorded votes in the meeting were unanimous 7–0.

Details and next steps: The transcript shows motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote. Where names or roles are unclear in the transcript (for example the phrasing around 'SAR Garrick'), the board record lists the motion text as presented during the meeting and staff follow-up is expected to provide formal appointment documentation.
