Summary
The Imperial County Board of Supervisors adopted a proclamation recognizing May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, approved routine consent items and out-of-state travel for public health staff, and in closed session voted 3–2 to dismiss the director of human resources and risk management.
The Imperial County Board of Supervisors took several formal actions during its May 13 meeting, passing routine consent items, adopting a proclamation and approving staff travel, and later reporting a closed‑session personnel decision.
The board adopted a proclamation declaring May 2025 as Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month for Imperial County; the roll-call vote recorded in the transcript was recorded as affirmative for Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The proclamation encourages residents to recognize contributions of the AAPI community.
The board approved the consent calendar and the consent budget, and approved the official proceedings for the May 6 and May 8, 2025 meetings. It also approved amendments to conflict-of-interest codes for two agencies (Frawley Union High School District and Bombay Beach Community Service District) pursuant to Government Code section 87306.
The board authorized out‑of‑state travel for two epidemiologists to attend the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan, June 8–11; county staff said two grant sources will cover costs. The transcript records motions, seconds and roll‑call votes for these routine approvals; the motions carried.
Closed-session report: The board reported it met in closed session on several items and that direction was given to counsel; the board also disclosed a personnel action. On a public‑employee discipline/dismissal item the board voted 3–2 to dismiss Rodolfo Aguayo, director of human resources and risk management, effective May 13, 2025. The transcript lists the roll call as: District 1, no; District 2, no; District 3, yes; District 4, yes; District 5, yes. County counsel said written notice would be sent pursuant to ordinance.
Ending: County staff indicated the board will follow up on several items raised in open session and that a number of routine approvals will be implemented by the relevant departments.
