Trustee Cahill, supported by Vice President Head, moved to select Skanska for construction management services.
The Board continued with discussion.
Trustee Rosenthal moved to call the question. There was no second to her motion. The motion failed due to lack of support.

It was the consensus of the Board to vote on the motion on the floor.
