The Citizens General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee voted to adopt a resolution under Assembly Bill 361 allowing the committee to meet remotely during the COVID-19 emergency and approved the minutes of its Aug. 22, 2022 meeting.
Bart Bontaha moved to approve the AB 361 resolution; a committee member seconded and members recorded their votes in the affirmative. After a brief audio issue for Chair Matthews, the chair's vote was confirmed and the chair declared, “So it's been adopted.”
On the related procedural item, a committee member moved to accept the Aug. 22 minutes; Member Pantoja seconded and the motion carried with members voting "Aye." One member asked whether abstention was permitted if they had not attended the prior meeting; staff advised the member that watching the prior meeting would support a yes vote and the member confirmed they had watched it.
The actions were procedural and did not change any bond program funding or schedules. The committee proceeded to its substantive presentations after the votes.
