There is now a motion to go into closed session. The chair said that there would not be any actionable items voted on during closed session. Once the board comes out of closed session, they expect to adjourn.

The board members are heading to a breakout room while the DLBA moderator, Kelsey, hangs out here with the members of the public. We wait.

So I’ll take this time to add my own comments. This meeting flowed really fast. It followed the agenda to a T, and was so easy to follow along. It included and engaged the public and I thought all the project approvals/purchase agreements were really exciting.

Board members are experiencing a few technical difficulties in the breakout room. Just waiting for Carol to reconnect and get into the room with them.
