Committee approves two Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network appointments on consent

The Government Accountability and Oversight Committee approved proposed motions 2025-0150 and 2025-0151 to appoint Jesse Anderson as King County's primary representative and Ian Houri as the alternate representative to the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network operator board of directors. Both consent motions passed on a roll call vote in committee, 3-0, and will be placed on the full County Council's consent calendar.

The committee noted the appointees were not present because they were attending a conference and therefore the appointments were placed on consent. Council member Pam moved the consent items; the clerk called the roll and reported ayes from Chair Von Reichbauer, Council Member Mosqueda and Council Member Perry. The clerk recorded the motions as passed and noted they will appear on the consent calendar at the full Council meeting.

This action was procedural: the committee approved the appointments and placed the motions on the consent calendar for the full Council to ratify. No discussion about the appointees' qualifications or duties occurred on the record in committee.
