*Update: public commentary is closed. Public comments were divisive. Some in favor of Keri, most asking for someone that has no political and/or religious agenda.
Trustee Lesch made a statement stating he is willing to compromise, BUT only if it’s someone with no prior experience or affiliation. Lol
Trustee Zachreson stated his feelings are hurt due to hate emails. And has no idea why people are mean to Keri.
President Baquera is proposed a way to move forwards but is having some resistance.
*Update 2: The meeting is on a 10-minute break due to the audience being a bit loud—especially a lady in the front row who either was never told ‘no’ as a kid or just has no sense of decorum.
*Update 3: We are back in session. The trustees are discussing why their picks should move forward.
No one is willing to compromise. The deciding factor appears to be their personal criteria for what the new member should bring to the board. Two trustees prefer someone with no prior experience, valuing a fresh perspective. The other two favor a candidate with experience—someone who can start contributing immediately and run again in two years to provide consistency and stability.
- Update 4: No consensus was reached. The board is now considering hosting another Special Meeting to review the remaining 18 candidates. Each board member would select two more candidates, who would then be invited for interviews. The goal is to reach a consensus before February 11 to avoid the $1 million cost of a special election.
I’ll provide an update once the meeting dates and process are finalized.
