Items needed for compliance review

  • Evidence of budget review and public hearing option are not captured in the May 8, 2025 and June 28, 2025 budget hearings/board meeting. 
    • Meeting minutes serve as the official record of actions and decisions made by a governing body. To maintain transparency, accountability, and legal accuracy, it is essential that the minutes reflect what actually occurred during the meeting. Amendments may be made when errors, omissions, or inaccuracies are discovered in the original draft to ensure the record is complete and factual. This process safeguards the integrity of the organization’s documentation and upholds public trust by ensuring the minutes accurately represent the proceedings and decisions of the board.
    • Henry and Uso confirmed that the budget and public forum comment were both presented and allowed during both meeting. Morgan noted that board meeting minutes will need to be adjusted at the next Board meeting to reflect this. Once the board approves, Morgan and Uso will work together to make updates.
