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.

The Board of Supervisors will consider the following in closed session: Conference with Legal Counsel - Proceedings of the California Public Utilities Commission, Initiation of Litigation pertaining to Rulemaking 18-03-011, Disaster Relief Program (Government Code Section 54956.9(d)(4)).

File 2020-0347 on the County’s site Closed Session Calendar Item

AYES: Gorin, Rabbitt, Zane, Gore, and Hopkins
