Votes at a glance: Board approves several contracts; CalOptima ordinance set for second reading
Summary
The Board approved multiple consent items and contracts (including the Motorola radio agreement) and amended/sent forward an ordinance to change CalOptima board composition to a second reading after a 3–2 vote setting a Jan. 1 effective date.
The Orange County Board of Supervisors approved a number of consent agreements and moved one ordinance to a second reading during its July 25 meeting.
Key outcomes:
- CalOptima/Orange County Health Authority ordinance (Item 21): The board amended the ordinance to set an effective date of Jan. 1, 2018, and after a 3–2 vote sent the ordinance to a required second reading before final adoption.
- Motorola agreement (Item 9): The board approved an agreement with Motorola Inc. to replace obsolete 800 MHz countywide radio equipment and authorized the Sheriff/Coroner to execute the agreement; supervisors asked staff to provide reconciliation details and consider an independent audit.
- Multiple consent items passed without objection, including amendments or renewals for housing‑related software, portable‑toilet services (United Site Services), tree maintenance agreements, bird‑abatement services and correctional medical services.
Several other administrative and lease amendments were approved by unanimous consent or voice vote. Where votes were recorded during discussion, the board either approved recommended actions without objection or—where an ordinance required it—continued an item for a second reading as required by ordinance rules.
