Mendocino LAFCO adds third signatory for financial checks, approves resolution

The Mendocino County Local Agency Formation Commission voted unanimously to add a third authorized signatory for its financial institution and adopted a resolution formalizing the change.

Commission staff told the body they prefer having a third signer available in Ukiah to make it easier to sign checks at the end of meetings. Commissioner Gonzales moved the resolution; a second was recorded and the commission approved it on a roll call vote.

Commissioner Gonzales offered the motion to approve the resolution, and the roll call recorded ‘‘yes’’ votes from Commissioners Horsley, Mahoney, Roden, Gonzales and Vice Chair Ward. The resolution was identified in discussion as resolution number 20Four-two508 as presented in the meeting packet.

The agenda item was introduced during the meeting's business portion and commissioners discussed practical reasons for a third signer, including convenience when staff or regular signers are not present in Ukiah. The commission did not supplement the packet with additional text changes and moved directly to a formal vote.

No public comments were made on the item at the time of the vote. The commission did not record any conditions or follow-up tasks tied to the resolution in the minutes.

The change takes effect immediately as an administrative update to the commission's signatory list; staff did not state any additional policy changes or budget implications during the discussion.
