During the Dec. 2 meeting the board pulled consent item 1a after Supervisor Kozmicki disclosed that an entity connected to the MOU had been a source of income exceeding the disclosure threshold over the past 12 months. County counsel advised the board to re-agendize the item so the record would clearly show disclosure and abstention under the Political Reform Act.

The board amended the approval language so the vice chair would execute the agreement on behalf of the county to avoid any appearance the recused supervisor could sign. The motion to approve item 1a as amended passed on a 4-0 roll-call vote with Kozmicki recused and abstaining. A public commenter asked that the county disclose whether the roughly $500 in question was a campaign contribution or payment for work; the comment was recorded and the board indicated the matter would be addressed as part of the reconsideration process.

The board's action was procedural: it did not approve substantive contract details at this meeting beyond clarifying the appropriate signatory and documenting the recusal.
