Board adopts prior meeting minutes and two uncontested items in unanimous roll‑call votes
Summary
The State Water Resources Control Board voted unanimously to adopt the minutes of the prior meeting and to adopt uncontested agenda items 2 and 3; roll‑call votes were recorded and clerks announced ayes from all members present.
Sacramento — At the Oct. 7 meeting the State Water Resources Control Board completed two formal votes: adoption of the prior meeting minutes, and adoption of two uncontested agenda items (items 2 and 3). Both motions passed on recorded roll‑call votes.
Details - Adoption of minutes: A member moved to adopt the minutes of the board’s prior meeting, and another member seconded. Clerk Courtney Tyler called the roll. The recorded vote showed unanimous “Aye” votes by Board Member Bergara, Board Member Laurel Firestone, Board Member Nicole Morgan, Vice Chair Doreen D’Adamo and Chair Joaquin Esquivel. The motion carried; the minutes were adopted. - Adoption of uncontested items (Items 2 and 3): A separate motion to adopt the uncontested items passed by roll call. Board members Maguire, Firestone, Morgan, Vice Chair D’Adamo and Chair Esquivel were recorded as voting “Aye.” The clerk confirmed adoption of the items.
Why it matters: Recording roll‑call votes establishes the official public record. The board’s process for uncontested items allows routine approvals without extended debate, while preserving the opportunity for any member to pull items for discussion.
Ending: The board moved on to informational items after the adoptions.
