BILL’S CIRCUS
Last Monday’s (5/16/22), Regular Board Meeting was anything but Regular and conducted more like a circus with President Bill Burt playing the role of RINGMASTER.

Video Snippets Attached
.
The Circus Acts included Ringmaster Burt juggling agendas, magic acts and taming the lions.
.
Newly appointed Director Sheryl Jones was late for the show because she thought the meeting was in person at the Juniper Room.
.
Burt’s meeting was conducted via ZOOM and was a technical freak show.
.
The Administration posted their reading packet on May 13 that included two items of interest:
*“Director Status-Director Ebers”
*”Email Rules Regarding Quorums”
Ringmaster Burt magically removed the above items
from the Regular Discussion and slid them into Act II-Executive Session.
!!Poof!!
They disappeared.
.
Burt rushed through the meeting and the Public Input portion that included a question from resident Carol Orr and a lively discussion regarding in person meetings. Director Randy Peterson, apparently tired of the Orr question, asked Burt to adjourn to Executive Session.
.
Burt immediately adjourned the meeting to Executive Session without a vote. Additionally, Burt failed to state the general nature of the action to be considered in accordance with state law.
.
Approximately an hour later Burt reconvened the Irregular Meeting and failed to identify the true nature of his Executive Session.
Instead, he misdirected everyone’s attention to the cancelled rodeo-OLD NEWS?
.
Did Burt deliberately fail to summarize reasons for his Executive Session discussion that apparently focused in part, on Director Ebers and Quorums?
.
Was this an abuse of the Executive Session process and an attempt to use Executive Session for secrecy?
