III. Approval of Minutes of May 26, 2016
Chair Tiffany North stated that the May 26, 2016, minutes reflected no vote was taken

that. In addition, she said the minutes reflected no vote was taken on the motion for
approval of the minutes for the March 24, 2016, meeting.

believed that was approved.

meeting and then it was brought to their attention that there was a discrepancy that they
