1-30-26 Update

               At the last Board meeting they discussed the pending retirement of President Jackie Elliott. It was discussed in executive session, and a public discussion was tabled until the 2-24-26 meeting. I suggested at the open call at the 1-20-26 meeting that they involve the public in the vetting of the replacement.

               From comments in the meeting and an informal comment later it appears that they are close to finally replacing the Chief Financial Officer after the last one was arrested for credit card in August.

               There was no discussion of next year’s budget, so it looks like they’ll try to slam it through without discussion, particularly Ms. Elliot is a lame duck and has nothing to fear from a continued lack of transparency with a compliant Board.
