ISERS board approves routine items, votes to cancel August meeting and to hold closed session

The Imperial County Employees’ Retirement System board took several procedural votes at its May 21, 2025 meeting, approving routine agenda items and formally canceling the board’s August meeting. Trustees also voted to move into a closed session at the end of the public meeting.

Why it matters: The votes are standard governance actions that set the board calendar and permit confidential legal and personnel briefings in closed session.

Key recorded actions and outcomes:

- Approval of the agenda: The board approved the meeting agenda by voice vote after a motion moved by Norma (listed in the roll call as Norma K. Houdegi) and seconded by David H. Price. The board answered “Aye.”

- Approval of the consent agenda and minutes: Trustees approved the consent agenda and the minutes of the April 16, 2025 adjourned regular meeting by voice vote after motions and seconds were recorded; the board answered “Aye.”

- Cancel August meeting: The board voted to cancel (go dark for) the regularly scheduled August meeting. The motion was made and seconded and the board voted by voice (“Aye”) with the motion recorded as moved by Norma and seconded by Patricia Lizarraga. The motion carried.

- Motion to go into closed session: A motion to hold a closed session was moved by Norma and seconded by David; the board voted by voice (“Aye”) to convene closed session.

Closed session note: In closed session the board received a brief update on the status of the Bureau of County Sheriff’s location and an update on pending lawsuits (reported to the board in closed session). The board recorded the closed‑session meeting and resumed public session afterward.

Ending: The routine approvals and calendar change were recorded in the meeting minutes; closed session updates were summarized for the public in the brief statement on the record that the board had received an update on the sheriff’s location and a report on lawsuits.
