Rancho Murrieta CSD approves culvert repairs and keeps meeting schedule; administrative hires and salary items deferred
Summary
The board approved design/permitting funds and a construction option for equestrian-center culverts, kept the regular meeting time unchanged, approved an updated org chart, and did not approve an administrative-assistant job description (motion died for lack of second). A GM-salary resolution was tabled.
The Rancho Murrieta Community Services District board approved several operational and capital items during its Jan. 21 meeting and deferred others for further review.
The improvements committee recommended replacing failing culverts at the Rancho Murrieta Equestrian Center. The board approved the recommended option and authorized $42,000 for hydraulic modeling, permitting and design work, with a construction estimate at approximately $284,000. The motion passed by roll call; directors present voted in favor.
"We went out and had a tour of those, and they don't look good," the improvements committee member who spoke in support said as the board discussed timing and coordination with equestrian events.
On meeting logistics, directors debated moving regular board meetings earlier in the day to make staff time more efficient and to accommodate members of the public who work. After discussion the board voted by voice to keep the meeting start time unchanged.
A personnel item — the proposed new administrative-assistant job description intended to relieve senior staff from routine work — did not move forward: a motion to approve the description received no second and therefore failed. Several directors reiterated the need for higher-level operational hires (director of operations, permanent general manager) before making more hiring decisions at lower grades.
The board approved an updated organizational chart by roll call. A separate salary-resolution item tied to closed-session discussions (GM salary) was tabled to a future meeting so directors could review packet materials and because the topic hinges on closed-session outcomes.
The consent calendar, including the discontinuation of emergency repairs for Lift Station 6B (staff reported repairs and costs), was approved as a single motion earlier in the meeting.
The board reconvened from closed session at the meeting’s end and reported no reportable action.
