Wyandotte Creek GSA elects Bill Connolly chair, appoints Jacob Weinsinger to advisory committee

The Wyandotte Creek Groundwater Sustainability Agency on Jan. 29 conducted routine organizational business before its substantive fee discussion.

The board held nominations for officers. Bill Connolly was nominated and approved as chair by voice vote. A motion to nominate Bill Biden for vice chair was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board then moved to approve the Dec. minutes for the Wyandotte Creek GSA special meeting; the motion passed by voice vote with the chair noting no sustained opposition.

Appointments: the board considered a slate of advisory committee openings for the Wyandotte Creek GSA advisory committee (WACC/WAC). Staff reported two vacancies: an agricultural groundwater user stakeholder seat and a tribal stakeholder seat. The board received and verified one applicant for the agricultural seat, Jacob Weinsinger, and appointed him by motion, second and voice vote. The board noted that tribal representation remained unfilled and staff will continue outreach efforts.

No formal roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript for these routine voice votes. The actions were recorded as approved by the chair and by voice vote in the meeting record.

Provenance: roll call, nominations, minutes approval, and appointment appear in the Jan. 29 transcript during the meeting’s opening business and early agenda items.
