Seaside County Sanitation District approves consent agenda, authorizes $765,118.70 drawdown and on-call engineering contracts

The Seaside County Sanitation District Board of Directors approved its five-item consent agenda during the Oct. 14 regular meeting, agreeing to accept operational reports, approve prior minutes and authorize funding and contracts for 2025.

Chair Uy called for the vote after no board members or members of the public asked to pull items. An unidentified board member moved to approve the consent agenda and another board member seconded; the chair then stated, “The motion approved, and the consent agenda, is approved.”

The consent agenda included: approval of the Sept. 9, 2025 regular meeting minutes; receipt of the district Operations Report for September 2025; receipt of the quarterly fog inspection report; approval of the April–June 2025 expenditures and a drawdown request totaling $765,118.70; and adoption of a resolution to award specifications for the 2025 general engineering on‑call contract.

The resolution approves awarding contracts to the three low bidders named in the packet — Don Chapman (as listed), Monterey Peninsula Engineering Incorporated, and Thichert and Son Incorporated — and establishes an annual funding limit of $1,000,000 for on‑call work orders, directing the district engineer to authorize individual work orders.

The board discussion before the vote focused on confirming that the resolution language was included in the packet and whether any consent items should be pulled; board members confirmed the packet and proceeded to vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or individual votes by name; the chair announced the motion approved.

Notes on next steps: staff will process the approved drawdown request and execute the on‑call contracting process per the adopted resolution. If specific contract awards or work orders are issued, staff is expected to present those at a future meeting for board review or ratification.
