A brief roundup of formal board actions and reported settlements from the Oct. 7 Sonoma County Board of Supervisors meeting.
Consent calendar: The board approved the consent calendar items 7 through 30. During roll call the chair recorded a "No on 22" and "Yes on all other items;" the clerk confirmed the motion carried.
Parking ordinance: The board approved staff recommendation A for the countywide parking ordinance update (consolidating rules into Chapter 18), with the clerk noting that resolutions C and D would be adopted after the ordinance takes effect. Action A carried by voice vote.
Closed-session settlements: When the board returned from closed session the clerk reported two workers' compensation settlements approved by a 5–0 vote: the Byron Clark matter was settled by stipulation/request for award for $168,455 less permanent disability advances; Michael Yoder was resolved by compromise and release for $255,000 less permanent disability advances. The board directed Human Resources and legal staff to execute documents necessary to effectuate the settlements.
