Board nominates Dale as incoming chair and adopts electronic-signature policy
Summary
With the current chair preparing to step down in two meetings, members nominated Dale to succeed them. The board also voted to authorize electronic signatures for contracts, directing staff to retain printable records for public records purposes.
Board members nominated Dale to succeed the chair, who said they will leave in two meetings. Members indicated broad support and recorded voice votes in favor of naming Dale the next chair.
The board also considered adopting a policy to permit electronic signatures for contracts and motions. A member moved to create an electronic-signature policy that authorizes staff to use industry-standard apps (e.g., DocuSign) provided that signed documents are printable and retained for public records. "I would move that, we create the policy that authorizes electronically signing contracts and give authorization to our administrative assistants to utilize any apps or software that are accepted within the industry," a board member proposed; the motion was seconded and passed. Members noted the federal government, county and city governments use similar processes and emphasized the need to keep printable copies for records.
