12. Other Matters  
William M. Wolfson, Chief Administrative and Compliance Officer, stated that the  
Legal Committee items are all placed on the Board's Agenda today under Items  
for Discussion, and it may be appropriate, if the Committee would like, to move  
the items to the Consent Agenda at the full Board Meeting, with the exception of  
the Resolution of Necessity (Resolution 2021-447, Resolution of Necessity Re:  
Access Shaft and Pump Station Near Ashland and Fox Creek Interceptors), which  
is a quasi-judicial act and requires a presentation and discussion at the full Board  
Meeting; however, all other items could be moved to the Consent Agenda, if the  
Committee feels it's appropriate.  
Director Quadrozzi made a motion, supported by Chairperson Walker-Griffea,  
that the items from the Legal Committee, with the exception of the Resolution of  
Necessity, be moved to the Board's Consent Agenda. The motion carried  
unanimously.
