Home My WebLink About10 LAFCO Election _ _ __ __ .. Agenda Item # /Q m Memorandum To: Board of Directors From: Peter Holzmeister Date: July 1, 2004 Date of Board Meeting: July 7, 2004 Subject: Election of Nevada County LAFCo representative 1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD: Under LAFCo rules of procedure this is a matter that requires board action 2. HISTORY: As the attached memo from SR Jones indicates, the term of office of Ron Nulph as a member of the LAFCo expired on May 3, 2004. That vacant position needs to be filled. SR tried to conduct a meeting of the special districts to elect a person to fill the vacancy, but they failed to achieve a quorum. The next step is to conduct an election by ballot sent to each special district. 3. NEW INFORMATION: Ron Nulph, whose term has expired, wishes to be re-elected to another term. He is being supported by TSD. John Drew of the Nevada Irrigation District is also interested in being elected to that position. 4. RECOMMENDATION: I do not have a recommendation at this time. I will try to learn more about both candidates before our July 7th meeting.
