Subject: Consideration of a Process to Fill a Position on the Board
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Only the Board of Directors can determine the process to fill a vacancy on the Board.
2. HISTORY
At the April 18, 2012 regular Board meeting, Director Laura Clauson Ferree stated she
will be resigning from her position as Director. She has now given her formal
resignation with an effective date of June 1, 2012.
The Board discussed the options and directed staff to call for an election once the
formal resignation is received.
3. NEW INFORMATION
California Government Code Section 1780 lays out the process to fill a vacancy on a
special district board. The effective date of the vacancy was June 1, 2012. In lieu of
making an appointment, the Board decided to call a special election to fill the vacancy.
The election must be held on the next established election date that is 130 days or
more after the date the District Board calls the election. This date is November 6,
2012.
The District has notified both the Nevada and Placer County Election Offices of the
vacancy on the Truckee Donner PUD Board with a Statement of Facts and notification
that the vacancy will be filled by election.
4. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact with this action.
5. RECOMMENDATION
Call for an election to fill the vacant Board position created by the resignation of
Director Ferree as of June 1, 2012.
