Whitewater board votes to switch to quarterly meetings on fourth‑Tuesday mornings
Summary
The board approved a change to meet quarterly, setting a recurring meeting on the fourth Tuesday at 08:30 at the Whitewater location, with dates proposed for the year and flexibility to revert if needed.
After extended discussion about scheduling burdens and overlapping county and committee calendars, the Whitewater Joint Powers Board voted to change regular meetings to a quarterly cadence and to set recurring meetings for the fourth Tuesday at 08:30 a.m. at the Whitewater location.
Members argued the change would reduce travel and conflicts with county board schedules while preserving the ability to meet more often if needed or call emergency meetings for time‑sensitive grant opportunities. Ross moved the date change with a second and the motion passed by voice vote; one member recorded opposition during the vote.
The board listed proposed dates (May 27, Aug. 26, Nov. 25, and a January/February slot to align officer cycles) and agreed staff will circulate a calendar and remain flexible to adjust if conflicts arise. Members noted that year‑end administrative actions (checks, signings) can be handled operationally if timing requires.
