[Speaker 1] (0:04 - 0:14)
We are going to start with the invocation and pledge to the United States flag and the pledge to the Texas flag by Regent McKenna. Please stand.

[Speaker 5] (0:15 - 0:16)
Join me in prayer.

[Speaker 2] (0:20 - 0:51)
Heavenly Father, we just thank you for this day you've given us to come together as a group of individuals who are interested in improving the facilities of this beautiful institution. Father, we just thank you for the time you've given us to focus, take away from the other things we have going on in our lives. Be with us as we gather tonight and take care of the agenda items.

We know that it should be quick, but it's all very important. Thank you for your time together. All these prayers are listed.

Amen.

[Speaker 1] (1:25 - 1:27)
Okay, next up is public comment.

[Speaker 4] (1:28 - 1:29)
No one signed up, Mr. Chairman.

[Speaker 1] (1:29 - 1:48)
All right, we'll move right into new business. First item on the agenda, consideration of an engagement agreement with Bradshaw Law Administration recommends that the board authorize the president or her designee to engage Bradshaw Law for the college in connection with an employee grievance and complaint. Do I have a motion?

[Speaker 3] (1:48 - 1:48)
So moved.

[Speaker 1] (1:49 - 1:59)
Second. I've got a motion by Regent Himsel and a second by Regent Hall. Do we have any discussion on this matter?

Hearing none, all in favor say aye.

[Speaker 5] (1:59 - 1:59)
Aye.

[Speaker 1] (2:00 - 2:07)
Any opposed? And just for the record, did Regent Cotton join us?

[Speaker 4] (2:07 - 2:12)
He did not. He answered that he's driving and not available.

[Speaker 1] (2:23 - 2:50)
Okay, next item, consideration of approval of the Lee College district order of general election to be held on May 3rd. The administration recommends that the board approve the order of general election to be held on May 3rd. Do I have a motion?

So moved. Second. I've got a motion by Regent Geralds and a second by Regent Hall.

Any discussion on this item? Hearing none, all in favor say aye.

[Speaker 5] (2:50 - 2:51)
Aye.

[Speaker 1] (2:51 - 3:33)
Any opposed? All right, our next item for consideration. Consideration of approval of joint election agreement between Lee College district and Goose Creek CISD for May 3rd, 2025 general election.

The administration recommends that the board approve the joint election agreement between Lee College district and Goose Creek CISD for May 3rd, 2025 general election. Do I have a motion? So moved.

Second. I have a motion by Regent Morfantino and a second by Regent Geralds.

[Speaker 3] (3:33 - 3:55)
Any discussion on this item? I have a question. Should there not be any reason for Goose Creek to hold an election, in other words, they wouldn't have any challengers, is there another option where we could hold our own election or are we binding ourselves to an agreement here or just authorizing it if?

[Speaker 1] (3:55 - 4:02)
Harris County has some things that will be on the ballot. Oh, okay. I asked that question on the way in.

[Speaker 3] (4:02 - 4:05)
Okay, we talked about it yesterday. Okay, thank you.

[Speaker 1] (4:07 - 4:30)
But the question was I asked, we can probably get a polling place here at Lee College, but as far as not having them anywhere else, a lot of that's out of our hands. We see Harris County have an item and there will have to be a location in San Diego. Any other discussion on this item?

Hearing none, all in favor say aye.

[Speaker 4] (4:30 - 4:31)
Aye.

[Speaker 1] (4:31 - 5:09)
Any opposed? Next item, consideration of approval of an agreement between Chambers County and Lee College District for utilization of Chambers County voting system for the general election to be held on May 3rd, 2025.

Madam President, do we have any executive session? Matters of concern for future agendas? Hearing none, this meeting is adjourned.
