Public Comment and Discussion
Resolution #2025-04 Annual Appropriation Resolution
Mr. Winkeljohn: At this time, we would take public comment and discussion, and there’s been no response to the ad, to the emails or letters providing any comments, so we can move past that item to resolution #2025-04 which is the setting of the assessment and the accompanying line item budget. There’s no reason to change the assessment because the District is able to absorb its annual regulatory expenses with the existing rate and staff recommends approval of resolution #2025-04 by motion.

Mr. Winkeljohn: As I mentioned, the roll call is the three members of our Board, the respondents were very thin but very qualified, Grau & Associates, our current auditor did respond with a 10 year proposal, your action would be to rank the respondent as either #1 or disqualified, and I see no reason to disqualify them and recommend a motion to rank them #1.

Mr. Winkeljohn: Item No. 3 I already covered, and item No. 4 is designation of the District records office, and because it’s an electronic process only now, I will approach Barraco & Associates to allow the use of a laptop or a computer, and if somebody requires a records request I can come over and meet with them and use my laptop, I have all the records on a server that I can access and do it that way.
