BACKGROUND:
Former Knightsen Community Services District (CSD) Board Member, Steve Ohmstede resigned from the Knightsen CSD effective April 24, 2018. The deadline for the Knightsen CSD to fill the vacancy was June 24, 2018 and was unable to do so.
In accordance with Government Code 1780, the Board of Supervisors may appoint an individual to fill the vacancy when the District is unable to do so within the legal timeframe.
The vacancy was posted by the Clerk of the Board on June 27, 2018 and the recommendation to appoint Curtis Caldwell was then determined.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
No appointment could force the Knightsen CSD to hold a Special Election which would negatively impact their budget.
