RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT, in lieu of election, Otome Lindsey to the Board of Trustees of Reclamation District 2122 (Winter Island) for a term of four years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors received correspondence from Gallery & Barton, a law corporation representing Reclamation District 2122 (Winter Island). On behalf of the Reclamation District, Gallery & Barton has requested the Board of Supervisors to make an appointment to fill one seat on the District's Board of Trustees in lieu of election.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The District received only one nomination for the open seat, and the sole application was filed by incumbent, Otome Lindsey. Pursuant to Water Code section 50741, the District published notice that the election has been canceled. The District has not received any petitions from landowners requesting an election be held. Therefore, the District requests that the incumbent be appointed, pursuant to Water Code section 50740-50742. Otome Lindsey was previously appointed to serve in a two-year term, though it was truncated to preserve staggered terms consistent with Water Code section 50602.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The proposed nominee to the Board of Trustees for Reclamation District 2122 would not be approved, and the District’s Board of Trustees would have difficulty conducting business.
