Board record on VATRE, disaster proclamation and efficiency audit is ambiguous
Summary
Minutes note the governor's disaster proclamation allows the district to forego an efficiency audit, but also record a separate motion "to approve the efficiency audit" that carried 6-0; the minutes do not clarify which action the board intended to authorize.
During consideration of VATRE (Voter Approval Tax Ratification Election) and an efficiency audit, the minutes state that the governor's disaster proclamation for Zavala County "allows the District to forego the Efficiency Audit." The minutes then record: "Motion to approve the efficiency audit made by Victor Bonilla III, seconded by Ray Espinosa. Motion carried 6-0."
The minutes do not explain whether the board chose to forego the audit or to proceed with it; the two sentences as recorded are inconsistent. The minutes do not include further clarification, a recorded amendment, or follow-up direction. The board may need to clarify this item in a future meeting or in supplemental documentation to resolve whether the efficiency audit will be conducted.
