of the board meetings, which, according to the CVB Bylaws, was the appropriate action. Roger
Engle continued by stating that, according to the County Commissioners’ meeting, Mr. Sullivan
was supposed to have provided his resignation last Thursday, July 23, 2026, but at the time the

received. The Commissioners at that time voted to table the item. Mr. Sullivan stated that he was
going to place his resignation to the County Commissioners at the July 30th meeting. Mr.
