Board approves November minutes and sets 2026 meeting schedule

Chairman Treadwell called the meeting to order, moved to accept the minutes from the November meeting and asked, “All in favor, aye?” The board responded in the affirmative and the motion carried by voice vote.

Staff presented proposed dates for the board's 2026 meetings — Jan. 22; Apr. 9 (alternate Apr. 30); Aug. 13; and Nov. 5 — noting all sessions would start at 9 a.m. and be held virtually. After members discussed a potential conflict with an April 9 vacation, the board settled on April 30 for the spring meeting and moved to approve the schedule. A voice vote followed and the schedule was approved.

The clerk said the dates would be posted on the board's website and calendar invitations would be distributed to members. The meeting closed shortly after a motion to adjourn and members exchanged holiday greetings.

Why it matters: Setting meeting dates and confirming minutes are routine but necessary actions that establish the board's 2026 calendar and enable public notice and participation. The board's decision to hold meetings virtually and at a consistent start time affects how members and the public will plan to attend.

What was not decided or specified: The transcript does not identify who formally seconded each motion by name, nor does it record a roll-call vote with individual vote attribution. Attendance responses are recorded at the start of the meeting, and voice votes were used to approve items.
