From the transcript
After several— and after several months, an advisory opinion has not yet been issued. I was seeking to keep this matter confidential to avoid embarrassment for the department, the board, my employer, and myself. I was hoping for a clear advisory opinion so the board could move forward. However, less than 12 hours before the meeting, I was informed that my statement would be shared with the board. Having worked in project management, I know that maintaining confidentiality among 7 individuals is impossible, and to control the narrative, I opted to disclose my communication, uh, with the public to ensure the narrative doesn't go off the rails.
