The board approved its consent agenda and several formal actions during the Jan. 26 meeting.
On the consent agenda the clerk announced a recorded roll call result of 7 to 0 (subsequent records show unanimous voting). The board then considered an update to a delegation-of-authority policy presented by General Counsel Kelly Fernandez; the proposal would align the general manager’s monetary authority for legal matters with his revised purchasing authority. Fernandez said the update brings the policy into parity with the general manager’s current purchasing authorization. The motion to adopt the policy was seconded and the clerk announced it passed 8 to 0.
On contract business Senior Project Manager Danielle Kersey presented agenda item C1 seeking board approval of the first amendment to contract 2023-029 with the construction manager-at-risk (CMAR) for the Cypress Creek Water Treatment Plant 72-inch valve project. The approval covered GMP #1 for early procurement of long-lead items and materials. Staff recommended and the board approved GMP #1 in the amount of $4,278,942; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
Later in the meeting the board also moved to receive and file administrative matters; the clerk announced that motion passed unanimously. Where votes were announced by the clerk the meeting record shows unanimous passage for the items described above.
Motion and vote details are recorded in the meeting minutes and the clerk’s roll-call announcements.
