Closed Session (Jan 8, 2026)
Summary
Procedural opening at 5 p.m. All five trustees present. Item C (rural property negotiators) removed from agenda. Notable in-meeting aside: Member Jim Kelly interjects "**Can we cancel the meeting?**" with Morgan responding "**I love where your priorities are, Jim. November, I'm sure is coming soon for you**" — a glimpse of the open hostility between Morgan and Kelly that recurs through 2026. Board adjourned to closed session for **conference with labor negotiators (Gov't Code 54957.6)**.
