HLVRA approves county auditor as treasurer, moves meetings to 4 p.m. and OKs administrative-services amendment
Summary
At its meeting, the Honey Lake Valley Recreation Authority appointed Lassen County Auditor Stephanie Naranek as treasurer, adopted Resolution 26‑64 to change meeting time to 4 p.m. starting 2026‑04‑21, and approved Resolution 26‑63 authorizing a city administrative-services amendment with a $14,007.81 fiscal impact.
The Honey Lake Valley Recreation Authority voted to appoint Lassen County Auditor Stephanie Naranek as the authority's treasurer and approved two resolutions affecting meeting times and administrative services.
Staff explained that the joint powers agreement requires the board to appoint a treasurer and that there had been no formal appointment since Nancy Cardenas retired. A board member moved to appoint Stephanie Naranek, the Lassen County auditor/controller; the board approved the motion by voice vote. Staff described the treasurer's responsibilities as overseeing fiduciary duties and coordinating annual audits.
Why it matters: formalizing a treasurer establishes a designated official responsible for oversight of the authority's funds and coordinates with the county treasury that currently holds HLVRA funds.
The board also adopted Resolution 26‑64 to change the HLVRA regular meeting start time from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., effective April 21, 2026. Staff said that the change had been discussed at a prior meeting and was returned for further consideration. The resolution was approved unanimously.
On a separate motion the board approved Resolution 26‑63, authorizing Amendment No. 3 to the administrative and operational services agreement with the City. Staff explained the amendment creates a flat 5% administrative fee of the operations budget to cover city staff time (including HR and payroll functions) and estimated the near-term fiscal impact to the authority at $14,007.81. According to staff, the change will make staff time tracking more straightforward and reduce uncompensated work previously performed by city employees for pool operations.
Board members thanked staff for the work on the amendment. Staff noted the operational invoices and staffing changes that made clearer tracking necessary; the city will carry a modest unreimbursed general-fund contribution while billing the authority for estimated hours under the new formula.
The board adjourned and set its next meeting for April 21, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.
