Sumas council authorizes public works director to sign state water adjudication claims
Summary
Council unanimously authorized Public Works Director Sunny Aulakh to sign the city's water adjudication claims for the state water adjudication, a procedural step recorded July 13, 2026.
At the July 13 meeting, the Sumas City Council authorized Public Works Director Sunny Aulakh to sign the city's water adjudication claims related to the state water adjudication process.
Councilmember Josh Clawson moved to authorize Aulakh to sign the claims; Councilmember Todd Daniels seconded the motion, and all present voted in favor. The motion gives the public works director authority to submit the city's claims as required by the state adjudication process.
Why it matters: signing and filing water adjudication claims is a legal/administrative step in the state adjudication process that can affect municipal water rights and claims; the council delegated signature authority to staff to meet filing requirements and timelines.
