Board approves consent items; manager reports IT contract, audit and upcoming capital plan
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda. The general manager reported the district awarded an IT services contract to VC3, secured a Cal OES grant of $54,000 for IT and cybersecurity, ongoing 2024 audit with a new auditor, and a near‑final 10‑year capital improvement program to be presented at the next meeting.
Trustees approved items 2 through 5 on the consent agenda by roll call, and the General Manager provided administrative updates including the award of an IT contract and a Cal OES grant for cybersecurity.
The meeting’s consent agenda was moved and seconded; the roll call recorded votes as follows: Trustee Alcala, Aye; Trustee Ziajole, Aye; Trustee Erly, Aye; President Ferreira, Aye. The General Manager called the results approved. The record indicates Trustee Orozco was not recorded as voting on the motion.
In his update the General Manager said the district selected VC3 for IT support after issuing a request for qualifications and receiving four proposals. He said the district also secured a Cal OES grant for $54,000 to support IT services and cybersecurity. “So really looking forward to that…this is gonna be very, very beneficial,” he said.
The General Manager told trustees the 2024 financial audit is ongoing. He said the district is using the city’s auditor this year, and the change in auditors has made the process slower than in prior years because the new auditor has different requests. He said staff has provided the requested information and the audit should be able to be completed.
On capital planning, the General Manager said he is finalizing a 10‑year capital improvement program that reflects recent changes to pump‑station piping and vehicle replacement cycles. He said he withheld bringing the CIP to the board until those items were included and expects to present it at the next board meeting.
Trustees asked about staff vacancies. The General Manager said all vacancies are filled; he noted Assistant General Manager Erin McGillian left early that day for a family matter and that the district has nine and a half staff positions (one part‑time).
No new formal motions related to the IT contract, audit or CIP were recorded during the meeting.
