Wasco council approves consent calendar, reorganizes committee assignments and fills two planning commission seats
Summary
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Wasco City Council unanimously approved the consent calendar, reorganized council committee assignments and confirmed two appointments to the planning commission; motions and roll-call votes were recorded for the first two actions.
The Wasco City Council took several formal actions at its Feb. 4, 2025 meeting, including approval of the consent calendar, reorganization of committee assignments and appointment of two planning commission members.
Consent calendar: Council Member Reina moved and Mayor Medina seconded approval of the consent calendar; a roll-call vote recorded aye votes from Mayor Medina, Mayor Pro Tem Saldania, Council Member Martinez, Council Member Raya and Council Member Reina. The clerk announced the motion was unanimously approved.
Committee reorganization: The council considered a reorganization of council committee assignments (described in the meeting materials as having a maximum of two members per committee and establishing a new “City Position and Support” committee to provide interim guidance on letters of support and time-sensitive positions). Council Member Martinez moved the motion and Mayor Medina seconded; the motion was unanimously approved by roll call.
Planning commission appointments: Under new business the council accepted two applicants to fill four-year vacancies on the Planning Commission. Staff reported two incumbents had agreed to continue and that the two selected were Courtney Coleman and Tracy Clindon, with terms expiring Dec. 31, 2028 (staff stated the terms are retroactive to the term start date). No roll-call vote appears in the transcript for the appointments; staff and council accepted the selections and asked the nominees to join for photos.
Votes at a glance: - Consent calendar: Motion by Council Member Reina; second by Mayor Medina. Outcome: approved (unanimous). Roll call: Medina — Aye; Mayor Pro Tem Saldania — Aye; Martinez — Aye; Raya — Aye; Reina — Aye. - Reorganization of City Council committee assignments: Motion by Council Member Martinez; second by Mayor Medina. Outcome: approved (unanimous). (Clerk recorded motion as unanimously approved.) - Planning Commission appointments (two four-year terms, expiring 12/31/2028): Courtney Coleman and Tracy Clindon appointed; motion/vote not specified in transcript, selections accepted by council.
Why it matters: committee reorganizations affect which council members represent Wasco on regional bodies and which members provide interim guidance on time-sensitive advocacy; planning commission appointments fill local land-use review seats through 2028.
