Board approves consent agenda and personnel measures; voice votes carry three items

The Sacramento Area Sewer District board approved its consent agenda and two personnel actions during its March 26 meeting; all votes were taken by voice vote and carried.

The board moved and seconded consent items 1 through 7 and approved them by voice vote. No public speakers had signed up for the consent items.

The board then approved item 10, a revision to employee benefits for employee groups 6 and 9 and a one-time wellness benefit payout for eligible staff. District staff said the payment would make roughly 40 employees whole for an 8-hour wellness-leave incentive that did not carry over from the county; staff described the payment as equivalent to the previous wellness-leave incentive. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. No public speakers signed up on this matter.

The board approved item 11, a resolution adopting an amended salary schedule for maintenance and operations manager classes. Staff said the action includes a 2.5% increase to maintain a 10% spread between supervisor and subordinate classes and a 5% increase to the retitled GIS Analyst 3 class (now GIS Supervisor). The board also authorized the district engineer to make administrative changes to the salary schedule that do not directly affect compensation. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. No public speakers signed up on this item.

Votes and procedure: Each approval was conducted as a voice vote with a motion and second; the clerk reported no public speaker slips for these items. Specific roll-call tallies or individual yes/no votes were not recorded in the public transcript; the clerk announced the motions carried following affirmative voice responses.

Ending: With no further business, the board adjourned the meeting.
