How often can the board hold additional meetings?

The board's ability to hold additional meetings "as determined necessary" aligns with the operational flexibility required to fulfill its responsibilities effectively. This provision allows the board to respond proactively to emerging issues, regulatory updates, or significant public concerns without being restricted by a rigid schedule.

Holding meetings only at predetermined intervals, such as at least once a month, might not adequately address urgent matters that require the board’s immediate attention. Similarly, basing meetings on public requests may not provide the board with the autonomy needed to govern effectively, as it might lead to unpredictability in their schedule and responsibilities.

Therefore, the correct approach is for the board to meet when deemed necessary, ensuring that they can manage their duties efficiently and effectively in various circumstances, adapting to new developments in the industry or community needs.
