The board is engaged in the process of selecting a new general manager, a task they are handling with confidentiality through executive sessions. The decision to conduct these sessions in private is intended to protect the integrity of the search process and ensure that qualified applicants are not deterred. This approach follows the declaration by the chair that an open meeting would negatively impact the recruitment of suitable candidates. The board scheduled their next executive session to continue this process, with an emphasis on returning to regular session solely for adjournment.

Additionally, the board reevaluated the need for future meetings and decided to tentatively schedule another meeting for October 8th at 4 p.m. This meeting may also require an executive session to discuss contract negotiation strategies. The board is taking a stance by ensuring that executive sessions are included in the agenda as a precaution, even if they are not ultimately necessary.
