Council housekeeping: From chair Gino Sund: On Sept. 10, the council received the sealed box of election materials from the June election (ballots, etc.) from previous chair George Lewis. The box will be opened by the council's executive committee to investigate alleged election irregularities. The council also met in a planning session on Sept. 13 to discuss operating practices and procedures for meetings, and set goals for the year.
Sund said that the council also investigated the rumors and allegations that there were conflicts of interest on the council (there has been some talk that councilmembers who have consultant contracts with PUSD have a conflict of interest). According to Sund, the council determined that the charges are speculation and conjecture, without merit, and that no action is required.
