MOTION by Regent Adams:
Move the Board to approve the hotel contract.
Seconded by Regent Walston and passed without dissent.
Chair Patton asked President Johnson to present this agenda item.
Regent Walston asked if the Board could go into closed session to discuss this personnel issue. Attorney Han replied that the Board could not go into closed session to discuss this item.
Regent Adams asked whether capacity would be an obstacle for Dr. Burnette since there are so many responsibilities required of this position.
Regent Fields asked if the monthly housing allowance is typical, especially given the state of KSU's financial situation. After some discussion, Regent Fields stated that he still had issues with the housing allowance and asked if it could be a separate motion. Attorney Han said the Board could only address the motion as stated, but that it could conduct a roll-call vote.
The Board Secretary then called the roll for a vote on the approval of the appointment of Dr. Daarel Burnette as Interim Executive VP, Finance & Business Affairs, and Chief of Staff:
| Regent Patton | Yes |

| Regent Walston | Yes |

The motion carried, and the Board approved the appointment of Dr. Daarel Burnette as Interim Executive Vice President, Finance and Business Affairs, and Chief of Staff.
Chair Patton asked President Johnson to present this agenda item. Regent Ramsey inquired whether the signatory authority would require only a single signature. President Johnson responded that two signatures would be required.
Move the Board to approve the resolution to provide Dr. Burnette with signatory authority for the Fifth Third bank account.
Though it was unclear as to which Regent seconded the Motion, it was unanimously approved and passed without dissent.
