Siskiyou supervisors elect leadership, approve consent agenda and correct Dec. 2 Power Authority minutes
Summary
The board elected its chair and vice chair, approved the consent agenda and later moved to rescind and re‑vote an earlier Power Authority action from Dec. 2 to correct the official record; multiple routine appointments and minute approvals were also made.
At the start of the Jan. 6 meeting supervisors completed organizational business: a motion nominated and the board elected the chair and Supervisor Harris as vice chair; the vote was recorded as unanimous among those present. The board approved granting officials permission to leave California and the U.S. during 2026 and moved quickly through the consent agenda, approving routine items by roll call.
Later in the meeting several supervisors raised that they had been absent from the Dec. 2 meeting when the Siskiyou Power Authority took an action. The board moved to rescind the Dec. 2 Power Authority action, approved the motion to rescind, and then re‑voted to approve the item with abstentions recorded for supervisors who were not present on Dec. 2. The clerk and county administrator clarified procedural steps for rescinding and re‑approving prior actions and for recording abstentions.
The board also considered and approved numerous appointments to special districts and advisory boards (water districts, cemetery districts, law library advisory, community action agency and behavioral health board appointments) where incumbents had applied for reappointment. Several items were continued where vacancies remained.
The board's adjustments to the Dec. 2 record were procedural steps to ensure accurate meeting minutes and voting records rather than substantive reversals of prior policy.
