BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors has received correspondence from the Law Offices of Al Warren Hoslett and Pamela A. Forbus, representing the Board of Trustees for Reclamation District No. 2137. Ms. Forbus, as Assistant Secretary for this District, has respectfully requested that the Board of Supervisors make the appointments of Mr. Eckman and Mr. Emerson in lieu of election to fill vacant seats on the District's Board of Trustees. Correspondence from the law firm states that nominating petitions were filed for each nominee on September 10, 2015 and the number of petitions did not exceed the number of vacancies to be filled. Notice pursuant to Water Code 50741 was published on September 28, 2015 advising that no election would be held in the District for the open seats on the Board of Trustees.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The proposed nominees for the Reclamation District's Board of Trustees would not be appointed.
