Council approves consent calendar and appoints interim finance director; roll call unanimous on resolution
Summary
At its Aug. 26 regular meeting the Guadalupe City Council approved the consent calendar, adopted Resolution 2025‑48 appointing Annette Munoz as interim finance director under Government Code section 21221(g), and then recessed to closed session by unanimous voice vote.
Guadalupe — The City Council approved routine business on the consent calendar and adopted a resolution to appoint an interim finance director during the current director’s leave of absence, the council reported at its regular meeting on Aug. 26.
Consent calendar
The council approved the consent calendar as a single motion and vote. There was no public comment on consent items and the motion passed by voice vote; the mayor announced, “All ayes.” The transcript does not list individual roll‑call votes for the consent calendar.
Appointment of interim finance director (Resolution No. 2025‑48)
Staff recommended adoption of Resolution No. 2025‑48 to authorize the appointment of Annette Munoz as interim finance director pursuant to Government Code section 21221(g) of the California Public Employees’ Retirement Law, which permits appointment of retired annuitants to temporary positions during leaves of absence.
City staff said Munoz would be paid at the unrepresented maximum rate; council approved an amendment to make that pay effective retroactive to July 1 to reflect a 5% cost‑of‑living increase applicable to unrepresented employees.
Councilmember motion and vote: A councilmember moved to adopt Resolution 2025‑48 with the change; a second was recorded and the council conducted a roll‑call vote. The roll call on the resolution showed unanimous support: Council Member Acosta (Aye); Council Member Perez (Aye); Council Member Villegas (Aye); Council Member Hernandez (Aye); Mayor Julian (Aye). The mayor declared the resolution adopted.
Adjournment to closed session
At the end of the public meeting the council moved, seconded and voted by voice to adjourn into closed session. The motion carried by voice vote with the mayor calling the meeting to a close.
Why it matters: The interim appointment ensures continuous leadership in the finance department while the current director is on leave and uses a state statutory mechanism for retired annuitant appointments. The adoption included a pay‑rate adjustment tied to the city’s unrepresented cost‑of‑living increase.
Ending note: The items were acted on in routine fashion; council directed staff to implement the resolution and to proceed to closed session as scheduled.
