Amended

Release of 9 minutes Approved (2 with redactions); release of 4/22/10, 5/13/10, and 7/8/10 minutes not considered. The Board voted 10-1 with one member absent to move to Executive Session to review these minutes. Due to a clerical error, the Board was unable to review the minutes of the 4/22/10, 5/13/10, and 7/8/10 Executive Sessions. The Board cast 2 votes in Executive Session with respect to releasing Executive Session minutes, and 1 vote to adjourn.
