Motion to amend motion: Commissioner Fulton moved to amend Commissioner Pequeño’s motion, and moved that they solicit guidance from the director regarding a reasonable time frame to request follow-up, and that they build that date onto their calendar and bring it up under Unfinished Business. Commissioner Pequeño said that would be acceptable to him, but he is not sure how it would all come together in the wording. Chair Bennett said they need a motion that is clear and understandable. Second: Vice Chair Olson said he seconded the motion. Vote: All commissioners voted aye. Motion repeated: Commissioner Fulton was asked to repeat her motion, to be clear. She said: “It is moved that we institute a system of following up on motions with reliance upon Director Kucharski for that information. Further, that this be accomplished by soliciting a date, a reasonable date, for the follow-up inquiry and that it be ordered under Unfinished Business.” Director Kucharski said they should leave his name out of the motion, for when he is no longer the director, and the commissioners agreed. Motion repeated: Commissioner Pequeño was asked to restate his motion, to be clear. He said: “I move that future motions requiring a response state a desired deadline for the response.” Vote: Chair Bennett asked for all those in favor to vote aye, and all commissioners voted aye. b. Update on water sustainability and water quality white paper and plans. Chair Bennett said the draft white paper will be ready to discuss at the January meeting. Director Kucharski added that the Water Reuse Task Force’s final report should also be available for the January meeting, and he will be going over some of its points. The report is related to the white paper being drafted. Chair Bennett said the final report of the Water Reuse Task Force should be placed under New Business on the January agenda. 5
