Jackson confirmed as chair; board schedules orientation and January site tour
Summary
The board elected Chair Jackson and Vice‑Chair Lambert, set a January orientation for new members, and agreed to move the agency’s water‑safety update to the next meeting to allow staff more time for data and planning.
The board nominated and confirmed Chair Jackson (Speaker 1) and Vice‑Chair Lambert (Speaker 3) for the coming year. The motion to appoint Jackson and Lambert carried by voice vote.
Members discussed an orientation for incoming board members and requested DOJ guidance materials on serial communications; staff proposed a site tour and orientation session in January timed to the board meeting in Salem, with an afternoon tour followed by an orientation session and dinner the evening before the meeting.
Board members also agreed to move the voting‑safety data update to the January meeting so staff can deliver more complete datasets and recommendations. The board provided informal direction on orientation topics including grant processes, procurement and serial‑communications rules.
