001Just a little one. [Music] ready to go. Call this special call meeting uh to order. Uh the agenda is short. Uh again, just a couple of things in the beginning. Uh basically uh when we get into the nomination, it'll need a nomination and a second. Then we'll have a chance to ask any questions and then we'll vote. Um first again, just wanted to say thanks to Mr. Quinn for 6 and a2 years of service um to our board and want to wish him well uh in what he uh is doing and again appreciate his time and his energy uh toward the board. And also just to mention, we only have the one candidate. Um, and I think it goes without saying much. He's one of the most wellrespected members of not just our community, but
002the Tri Cities area. Um, so Josh Smith who is uh again a product of our system, children products of our system. um and uh again is maybe the most recognized voice uh in the Tri Cities and maybe even just his recognition of whom he is. He is um a class individual and I think it honors us that he would consider uh serving in this role. We know he's extremely busy. Um, but I do know that he loves our community and he loves our system. So, I'll lead with that. Um, anything else we need to cover before we open this up? Okay. So, at this time, um, I'll open up the floor to nominations for our board member. I'll nominate Josh Smith. Okay. I have a nomination. And do I have a second? Second. Second. Anybody
003have any comments about Josh or any questions or anything? I'm excited. I think it's super good thing. I think so. All right. Okay. So, the item is to vote to nominate uh Josh Smith to be our board member uh for now to a term ending next October. Uh so about a year and a half worth. I mean, it is August. That's right. Because things are a little bit different. we have to get to that preliminary. Um so, uh again, all those in favor, please say I. I. Any opposed? And there are none. And motion carries. So, we will welcome uh Mr. Smith to our board. And um again, we hope he's as good as his son at serving on the board who was our student liaison. So, again, all right. Anything else? I will say
004really quickly here, we'll go ahead and try to line up an opportunity for him to be sworn in. Uh we'll we'll check on some dates next week and as soon as we have something finalized, I'll let you know. It will probably be in the noon time frame similar to this, but but we'll let you know if any of you can can attend. I'm out of town till Thursday. Okay. Okay. And I know it's a I know it's a busy time for everybody, but if if you are in town and can come whenever that's set up, it would be great. All right. Can I get a motion to adjurnn? Motion to adjurnn. All right. All right. So, every everyone got the motion. Have a good trip. Yes.
