Discussion and Possible Action Including Reconsideration of Approval of Board Special Assignments/Appointments as Recommended by the Chair of the Board
(Sponsor: Supervisor Haschak)
End
Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
1) Reconsider Board of Supervisors action to approve the proposed 2026 Special Assignment Roster as presented on January 6, 2026 and 2) Discuss appointment to the Inland Water and Power Commission while upholding other appointments on the roster; and authorize Clerk of the Board staff to transmit said appointments to each, as necessary.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board approved Board Special Assignments/Appointments as recommended by the Chair of the Board on January 6, 2026.
Summary of Request:
The Board approved unanimously the slate of appointments as recommended by the Chair of the Board. One of those assignments was discussed concerning the appointment of the Board representative to the Inland Water and Power Commission, which is now being brought forward for reconsideration. Since the Board passed a resolution in support of the IWPC’s actions and approach to the Potter Valley Project, concern was expressed that the IWPC representative should represent the Board’s policy. Supervisor Cline said that she would represent the Board policy and the Board voted to approve that appointment. Several days after that discussion, members of IWPC and ERPA shared news releases and expressed concern that Supervisors Cline and Norvell attended a press conference in Anaheim, CA with USDA Secretary Rollins attacking the work of the IWPC and Eel Russian Project Authority in developing a two-basin solution. This seems to undermine the efforts of these entities and is contrary to the Board’s adopted resolution. It is requested that Supervisors Cline and Norvell describe the purpose of their trip, what was said, who paid for such a trip, when did they know about the trip, and if Supervisor Cline still believes that she can represent the policy adopted by the Board of Supervisors in the IWPC.
The appointments can be reconsidered according to Rule 29 of the Board’s Rules of Procedure since the Supervisor moving this item voted in the affirmative and this is the next regular Board meeting.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not reconsider the action.
