RESOLUTION OF THE MENDOCINO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS (MSWMA COMMISSIONERS) ADOPTING THE STYLE OF ACTION MINUTES IN
CONJUNCTION WITH DIGITAL VIDEO AND/OR AUDIO RECORDINGS TO BE THE OFFICIAL
RECORDATION USED FOR THE MSWMA COMMISSIONERS.
WHEREAS, the MSWMA Commissioners are currently using a summary style of minutes that can be an
inefficient and inaccurate form of recordation, and an ineffective use of staff time; and
WHEREAS, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors and the Ukiah City Council have been
successfully using Action Minutes and a digital video and/or audio recording for over ten years; and
WHEREAS, Action Minutes have become the preferred standard among many cities across the State;
and
WHEREAS, Action Minutes is a style that is efficient, succinct, cost-effective for staff to prepare, more
appropriately aligned with the intent of the Government Code, and quickly show actions taken, identifies
individuals who participate in the discussions, is a cost-efficient use of staff time, and avoids any possible
clerk-misinterpretations, and/or Commissioner objections of what was or wasn't included in the minutes;
and
WHEREAS, if a Commissioner wishes to include a written statement with the minutes, those written
statements can be included in its action minutes.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, that the MSWMA Commission establishes Action
Minutes in conjunction with the video and/or digital audio recordings, which are to be kept as permanent
records, as the official recordation of the meetings of the Mendocino Solid Waste Management Authority
Board of Commissioners.
