Votes at a glance: agenda, consent calendar, appointments and social media policy approved
Summary
The Wasco City Council approved the meeting agenda, the consent calendar, appointments to several advisory bodies and a framework for city social media policies; council set an ad hoc committee to finalize the social media rules.
The Wasco City Council approved the meeting agenda, its consent calendar, two citizen appointments and a framework for city social media policies during its meeting. The council also authorized an ad hoc committee to finalize the social media policy language before implementation.
Why it matters: The actions clear routine business and set a path for the city to publish and manage an official social media presence, and they fill vacancies on oversight and special-district advisory bodies.
What the council voted on and outcomes - Agenda approval: Motion to approve the meeting agenda was approved by roll call; Mayor Medina was absent. (Transcript: roll call and ayes recorded.) - Consent calendar: The consent calendar (items listed on the meeting packet) was approved by roll call. Motion unanimously approved. (Transcript: “Motion and a second…Motion is unanimously approved.”) - Appointments: The council appointed Florino Rivera and Rocio Mosqueda to the Wasco sales-tax oversight committee (Measure X) and Larry Jennings to the Mosquito and Vector Control District, terms ending Dec. 31, 2028. Motion was unanimously approved; the clerk administered the oath. (Transcript: motion, roll call, oath comment.) - Social media policy framework: The council approved a resolution to adopt social media policies in concept and authorized the city manager (or designee) to finalize and implement them subject to city attorney input; the council created an ad hoc committee consisting of Councilmember Martinez and Councilmember Reyna (Reyna spelled variously in the record) to work with staff and the city attorney on final language. Motion was unanimously approved. (Transcript: motion, ad hoc formation, roll call.)
Notes: Where the transcript recorded roll-call votes, the minutes show unanimous approval on the consent calendar and later items; the mayor was absent for at least part of the meeting. The social media policy item was advanced with the explicit direction that two council members work with staff and counsel to refine disciplinary language and First Amendment safeguards before publication.
