The Board of Supervisors authorized a Starlink Enterprise account administration agreement and signed a letter of authorization during the Oct. 7 meeting after a supervisor questioned the letter’s first‑person phrasing.

Supervisor Manatray asked that the letter be revised because it uses first‑person phrasing and lists a contact; he worried about whether termination language would be read as a personal act by the chair. Chair and staff said it is common for letters of support and similar documents to be in the first person, and Acting County Counsel advised that the board’s authorization to the chair to sign the letter would be read as an act of the chair in their official role.

The board approved the item on the consent agenda. Staff emphasized the chair’s signature represents the county’s action and not a personal commitment. The item authorizes the chair to sign the agreement and the clerk to proceed with account setup.
