Subject: Consideration of Voting for a LAFCo Special District Member
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
This matter involves casting a ballot for a candidate to serve on the Nevada County
Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo).
2. HISTORY
When a vacancy occurs in the position of a Special District Member on LAFCo, it has
been the practice to begin the process of selecting a replacement by asking the
boards of the districts to nominate candidates. After the nomination process is
completed, the special districts are asked to cast ballots thus electing a person to fill
the vacancy.
Kurt Grundel's term ends April 2012. Consideration of a nomination to fill this vacancy
came before the District Board on March 7, 2012. The Board chose not to nominate a
member from the TDPUD Board.
3. NEW INFORMATION
Attachment 1 is a letter from Deborah Gilcrest, Clerk/Analyst of the Nevada County
LAFCo informing the District of the nominations received for the position of the Special
District Member position. The current position is held by Kurt Grundel of the Penn
Valley Fire Protection District.
There were two nominations for the Special District Member position:
• Kurt Grundel, Penn Valley Fire Protection District
• Nick Wilcox, Nevada Irrigation District
Timeline:
• The Ballot must be received in the LAFCo office no later than 5:00 p.m. on May
31, 2012 (Attachment 2)
• The votes will be tallied by LAFCo staff in the presence of a witness not
affiliated with LAFCo or any nominee, within seven days
• Results of the election will be sent to each special district and each nominee
