The key discussion centered on the Executive Director search process. New Business involved interviews with two prospective search firms: The Organizational Leadership Edge and Pracademic Partners. During Old Business, the Board unanimously voted to select Pracademic Partners as the recruitment firm for the Executive Director position.

Public comments raised concerns regarding meeting minutes, the resident commissioner appointment process, maintenance staffing levels at Community Towers, resident notice procedures for snow events, Wi-Fi access, difficulty operating new washing machines, and the delayed installation of handicap bars in laundry room bathrooms. The Treasurer's report for December 2025 was tabled until the next meeting. A motion was passed to form a finance subcommittee led by the Treasurer. The Acting Executive Director reported on the draft Community Towers emergency plan awaiting professional review. The Board convened in Executive Session to discuss pending legal matters and contract negotiations. New Business included the successful adoption of Resolution 1182, extending interim executive services until April 30, 2026, and the adoption of Resolution 1183, approving the FY2026 Annual Operating Budget. In Old Business, revisions to the Personnel Policy are pending creation of a red-lined version. A vote regarding the selection of a recruitment firm for the Executive Director position resulted in a draw for both candidates considered, leading to a decision to request a Best and Final offer from the two leading firms and schedule a Special Board of Commissioners meeting.
