Loading...
Summary
The Reclamation District 900 board voted to approve amendments to the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency joint powers agreement and the future composition of the West Safeco board, adopting the same alternative previously approved by the city council.
Reclamation District 900 voted to approve amendments to the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency joint powers agreement and to adopt the recommended future composition for the West Safeco board, the district’s general manager told the board at its Sept. 17 meeting.
The action, which the general manager described as the “exact same discussion as to the makeup of the West Safeco board” the city council considered at its recent meeting, passed on a roll call vote. Trustee Zappelzio Hall, Trustee Erle and President Garrow each recorded “aye” when the general manager called the roll; the general manager said this corresponds to the recommended “alternative 2.”
The vote follows a presentation by the general manager, who told the board: “So this particular item was presented to the city council … So it’s the exact same discussion as to the makeup of the West Safeco board. So, you’ve seen it before this because the city and now RD 900 make up the JPA.” The general manager and the district attorney were available to answer questions, the general manager said.
Votes at a glance: the board approved two items during the meeting’s initial consent agenda (two consent items were approved by voice/motion; specific roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript) and separately approved the West Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency joint powers agreement amendments and West Safeco board composition (roll call: Trustee Zappelzio Hall — aye; Trustee Erle — aye; President Garrow — aye). The motion to approve the JPA amendment was moved and seconded during the meeting (movers named in the transcript only as a board member who offered the motion and a board member who seconded).
The general manager noted the JPA amendment under consideration at the Reclamation District meeting was identical to the version recently considered by the city council. No additional amendments or dissent were recorded in the district’s discussion. The district attorney was present to answer legal questions, the general manager said, but no new legal interpretation was requested at the meeting.
The board took no further formal direction tied to the amendments at the meeting. The general manager said staff and counsel could answer questions about the agreement if board members had concerns but none were raised.
