[Written comment received prior to the meeting is incorporated into the file by

Director Peeples, Chair of the Nominating Committee, reported that the Committee

met and unanimously nominated Director Young as Interim President and Director

Shaw as Interim Vice President for the reasons stated in the written report presented

to the Board. No other nominations were offered. Director Peeples moved the

recommendation of the Committee which was seconded by Director McCalley.

Discussion ensued regarding the term length for the interim positions to which Director

Peeples explained that the terms would begin when the current president leaves office

through the first meeting in January when the permanent officers would be elected.

Directors Beckles and Walsh offered pointed comments regarding Director Young's

censure by the Board a decade ago and questioned Director Young's character and

ability to lead the Board. When asked by Director Walsh what Vice President Young's

vision would be as president, Vice President Young voiced a desire for the Board to

work together as a team and to put the agency first as the Board addresses a number of

complex issues facing the District. Vice President Young also expressed hope for more

civility in the process going forward.

Directors McCalley, Shaw, Peeples and President Ortiz gave numerous reasons for their

support for the Nominating Committee's recommendations.

There was no public comment offered.

MOTION: PEEPLES/McCALLEY to approve the election of Director Joel Young as Interim
