HomeMy WebLinkAbout12 LAFCO Special District member Agenda Item # R aM DONNER Public Utility District Memorandum To: Board of Directors From: Peter Holzmeister Date: October 27, 2006 Subject: Casting a ballot for LAFCo special district member Why this matter is before the Board: This matter involves casting a ballot for special district representative on Nevada County LAFCo. Only the Board can perform that task. History: The LAFCo commission is comprised of two members from the county supervisors, two members appointed by the cities in Nevada County, one member representing the general public and two members appointed by the special districts in the county. There are also alternate members representing those same categories. When a term of office of a LAFCo member representing the special districts expires, the special districts are asked to nominate a person to fill the vacancy. After the nominations are received by LAFCo, a ballot is sent to each special district, votes are cast, and the vacancy is filled. New information: You will recall that there is currently a vacancy in the position of Alternate Special District Representative. Attached is a letter from Katherine Hudson informing us that we have until November 15, 2006 to caste a ballot. Only one candidate has been nominated. He is Kurt Grundel from the Penn Valley Fire Protection District. Recommendation: We can either caste no ballot or caste a ballot for Mr. Grundel. Oct 12 06 05: 00p Katherine E.
