Body
SUMMARY:
On December 15, 2025, the Board Ethics and Conduct Ad Hoc Committee (Committee) met to review the results of the investigation filed on September 23, 2025, by a Board Member. (Governance Policies of the Board (GP) section 6.5.11.1)
Per GP 6.5.11.2, if the Committee is satisfied with the completeness of the investigation, it will present finding and recommendations to the Board at a public meeting.
Per GP 6.5.11.4, an executive summary of the investigation report shall be made, and will be available to the full Board and public in any future Board meeting on the investigation report. The executive summary is attached herein as Attachment “1.”
Per GP 6.5.12, the Board will consider, by majority vote, whether to accept the Committee’s findings. If findings are not accepted, then the matter is concluded and shall be deemed closed. If the Board accepts the findings, then the Board may discuss any recommendations by the Committee but will not take action on them at the meeting. Per GP 6.5.13 these actions may include a request for admonition, sanction, censure, or other measures in addition to any recommendations by the Committee.
The Committee has determined that there was not sufficient evidence that the alleged conduct violated any Board of Directors Code of Ethics and Conduct, Board Governance Policies, or local, state, or federal laws. The Committee recommends no further actions on the Board member complaint and that the matter be concluded and deemed closed.
