In the Clerk’s words

The Clerk’s minutes text records a vote on these items, but not in a form this site reads with confidence: several motions on one item, a vote with no stated Board Action to attach it to, or a voter who is not a Supervisor, such as a sanitation district’s mayor-director. They are quoted, not counted. Why.

Receive Report on Emergency Work to Stabilize Dangerous Conditions Resulting From the 2019 Winter Storms and Flooding and Make Findings to Extend Suspension of Competitive Bidding.
