With regard to Item 5, Member Pilecki asked for clarification on how the legislative
advocacy policy relates to proposed constitutional amendments and ballot
measures.
District Counsel Kent Alm reminded the Board that the District is unable to spend
public funds regarding voter based constitutional amendments and ballot measures.

ABSENT: Members: McGill
With regard to Item 9, Member Pilecki stated that the Board already authorized the
Server Room Relocation and Seismic Upgrades project when it approved the Fiscal
Year 2018-19 Capital Improvement Budget, which allowed staff to proceed with the
budgeted projects; therefore, the General Manager already has the authority to
advertise them. He noted that the Board will have an opportunity to approve or
disapprove of any projects at time of award.
Mr. Bailey advised that this item was brought to the Engineering & Operations
Committee, and in this instance the Committee requested authorization from the
Board to advertise the project.
Member Causey, as Chair of the Engineering & Operations Committee, expressed
concern about not getting complete information regarding the project until the award
of the contract and believes the Board should understand the value, cost and impact
of the project before going out to bid.
Member Pilecki opined that the current capital improvement program process is
adequate, and any changes should be revisited by the Board, stating that the current
practice of advertising should not be changed. President Nejedly concurred.
BOARD ACTION: Motion was made by Member Pilecki and seconded by
Member Nejedly to take no action on Item 9 on the Consent Calendar and
instead continue advertising projects under the existing General Managers'
authority. Motion passed by the following vote:
AYES: Members: Pilecki, Williams, Nejedly
NOES: Members: Causey
