The Sacramento Area Sewer District board unanimously approved Supervisor Phil Serna as chair and Councilmember Orozco as vice chair at its Jan. 14, 2026 meeting. The motion to approve the slate was moved and seconded and carried on a roll‑call vote with members present voting "aye."
Christophe Dobson, the district engineer and presenter for the item, described the board's two‑year alternating chair process and introduced the slate, saying the vice chair typically serves the first year and the chair the second. After a brief discussion noting that one nominee had reservations about accepting the role, a director moved to approve Serna as chair and Orozco as vice chair; the clerk conducted a roll‑call vote and the motion passed unanimously.
The board recessed briefly to switch seats and then reconvened to continue the agenda.
