A primary agenda item involved the board reorganization for 2026, specifically the selection and approval of the new President and Vice President, which resulted in the unanimous election of Director Halit as President and Director Goinda Ralph as Vice President. The board subsequently addressed the consent calendar, followed by board business, which included accepting the independent audits report and the annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30th, 2025. The auditor presented the findings, noting a clean (unmodified) opinion.

The auditor also highlighted prior period adjustments, including the capitalization of premium on debt and proper capitalization of completed projects, which resulted in required material adjustments detailed in the management letter.
