To the extent that the issue or the decision involved start-up funding or the more important financial decisions, the board by and large recused. It properly recused. It was noted in the minutes. They left the room.
I think the commissioner's report showed that there was a fundamental misunderstanding in two key areas. One was involving the consent agenda, which also included spending items. Those should have been voted on independently, individually. That would have allowed the conflicted board member to properly recuse on those as well. Instead, they were treated as a bulk vote.
On the matter of the COVID votes, they were instructed incorrectly. That was the source of the conflict there.
