RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE a request from the Knightsen Town Community Services District for a Mail Ballot Election on August 27, 2019 and AUTHORIZE the County-Clerk Recorder to conduct the election.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct cost to the County. Any additional cost incurred by the Elections Division will be recovered from Knightsen Town Community Services District.
BACKGROUND:
The Knightsen Town Community Services District had a resignation from a Board member on September 5, 2018. No appointment was ever made. Government Code 1780 requires that when a vacancy is not filled by appointment by the District within 60 days or within 90 days by the Board of Supervisors, an election be called. Knightsen Town Resolution 2019-2 requesting a Mail Ballot Election be held is attached. By granting this request, the Board authorizes the County Elections Division to conduct the election.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving the request will maintain the vacancy until the next scheduled election.
