Buckman board approves Open Meetings Act notice resolution, routine consent items
Summary
The Buckman Direct Diversion Board approved resolution 2026-1 on annual Open Meetings Act notice requirements (noting exceptions to first-Thursday meetings) and passed routine agenda and consent items including a $69,763 replacement vehicle purchase and approval of Dec. 4 minutes.
The Buckman Direct Diversion Board adopted resolution 2026-1 at its Jan. 8 meeting to satisfy annual Open Meetings Act notice requirements. Staff noted the only substantive change in the resolution was the explicit notation of meetings that are not on the first Thursday (this meeting was Jan. 8 due to Jan. 1 falling on the first Thursday; the July meeting was moved to July 9). Councilor Faulkner moved to approve the resolution; Councilor Cassatt seconded and the motion carried.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the meeting agenda and accepted the minutes from Dec. 4 (Councilor Kassen moved to approve the minutes; Member Schmidt Peterson seconded; Councilor Faulkner abstained because they were absent for the Dec. 4 meeting). The board also approved the consent agenda, which included authorization to purchase a replacement vehicle for $69,763 from the MR&R fund; Councilor Cassatt moved the consent agenda and Commissioner Hughes seconded.
Why it matters: Passing the Open Meetings Act resolution fulfills the board's statutory annual notice requirement and clarifies the schedule for meetings that do not fall on the first Thursday. Approvals of routine items maintain ongoing operations.
What’s next: The board set its next regular meeting for Feb. 5, 2026.
