Amador County – Four newly elected members of the Amador Water Agency Board of Directors took their oaths of office last Friday in a short ceremony at the agency office on Ridge Road. Amador County Registrar of Voters Sheldon Johnson led the four in their oaths of office, with each swearing to uphold the California and U.S. Constitutions. About a dozen people attended, including Amador County Chief Administrative Office Terry Daly and District 3 Supervisor Ted Novelli. The four new AWA Board members all raised their right hands and repeated the oath. G. W. “Bill” Condrashoff of District 1, Gary E. Thomas of District 2, Don Cooper of District 3 and Debbie Dunn of District 4 finished the oaths then one by one signed their “Certificate of Election” and shook hands with Johnson. The new AWA board will have its first regular meeting 9 a.m. Thursday. The meeting’s agenda includes a 2007-2008 annual audit and the election of board officers of president, vice president, secretary and clerk of the board. District 5 board member Terence W. Moore was appointed November 13th as board President, by outgoing board members. Moore was appointed because he was the lone holdover on the board and also had 2 years’ experience in office, required by board policy to be president. Moore at the time said that might have to be adjusted when the new board selects its president. AWA General Manager Jim Abercrombie in a staff report recommended the board elect Terence Moore as president, due to his being the only member with 2 years’ in office. Abercrombie said that policy requires the general manager be appointed Board Secretary and that staffer Cris Thompson be appointed clerk of the board. The new board on Thursday will also consider approving committee assignments for board members, along with the 2009 calendar. Abercrombie said that to help facilitate the transition, Moore drafted “suggested committee assignments for the new board’s revision and discussion.” Board members also will get a general discussion of Brown Act and conflict of interest requirements, hear of board member training options and their required ethics training.
