Sources in the room report that the discussion taking place changed when Steve walked into the room. At some point, you addressed confidentiality and said to Jacobs, "You just ruined it." An outright accusation, if true.

Other board members then proceeded to voice their comments about Jacobs, "blasting the crap" out of him, according to one source.

At or near the conclusion of the meeting, someone apparently threw a pencil at Jacobs, just missing his ear.

I realize this is what you would certainly call confidential information, and find it deplorable.

Rick Farr openly told Stauss much of what transpired at the closed session. The pot calling the kettle black. Farr was not subsequently subjected to the same accusations of leaking closed session info as Jacobs was.

That said, information about the closed session has been floating around this community. No board member has disputed the essential facts that reportedly took place. Nor do I expects any will. 

Assuming the reports are accurate, that closed meeting and the intent to send cease and desist letters to several association members over Facebook posts, was a mistake in my opinion. Stauss obviously had an inside report on what transpired.

Several board members, including Rick Farr, openly told Stauss what transpired at the closed session.
