From the transcript
So we'll move on to non-action items. Member Lessens, you wanted to discuss AO 2026-130, and then it's my understanding there's a member who has a motion, so we can discuss. Okay, well, thank you. So yes, my intent tonight was to make sure the board had an opportunity to discuss, um, this assembly resolution, which for everyone's reference is the resolution to— and I'm paraphrasing— um, have 6 board members be elected on a district basis and 1 board member to be elected at large over a multi-year period. And the ordinance has specific language, but that is the overall intent.
