BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors on November 19, 2015 received correspondence which is attached from Angelia Tant, District Secretary for Reclamation District No. 2059 respectfully requesting appointment by the Supervisors to the Board of Trustees to the District in lieu of elections. Reclamation District No. 2059 (Bradford Island) accepted nominees for three (3) District Trustee positions, which were to be filled by District election scheduled for December 1, 2015. The nomination period close at 5:00 p.m. on October 8, 2015, in accordance with the Reclamation District election procedures set forth in Water Code section 50731.5.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

At the close of the nomination period, there were three (3) candidates nominated: Michael Craig, James Folsom and Cate Kuhne. At the District’s regular meeting held November 3, 2015, Nominee Cate Kuhne withdrew from the election, leaving two candidates to fill two available Trustee seats. As a result, pursuant to Water Code sections 50740—50742, the District shall not hold an election, and the Board of Supervisors is requested to appoint the remaining Nominees to fill the Trustees positions.

Reclamation District 2059 requests that the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors appoint Michael Craig and James Folsom to fill the offices of District Trustees, each office having a term of four (4) years to commence December 1, 2015 and to terminate November 30, 2019.
