AB 912 would change Vallejo flood district board to reduce conflicts and improve governance; committee approves

Assemblymember Wilson presented AB 912 as a measure to modernize the Vallejo Flood & Wastewater District enabling act and reduce situations in which the city council constitutes a majority of the district board, creating recusal and quorum problems. She said the change would improve fiduciary independence and operational effectiveness.

Paul Gonzales, representing the Vallejo district and the city of Vallejo, said the district's current structure causes recurring governance and quorum issues that delay contracts and projects; he asked the committee for an aye vote. Committee members moved to concur in the Senate amendments and recorded unanimous ayes when the roll call was taken.
