OF TRUSTEES
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
lieu of election, to fill one open seat on the District's Board of Trustees.
The District is governed by a three-member board. For contested elections, board members are elected by
landowners to staggered four-year terms, with each voter entitled to cast one vote per acre owned within the
district. The single landowner within RD 2026 is Delta Wetlands Properties, a private, for profit entity.
Uncontested vacancies on the governing body are filled by appointment by the Board of Supervisors.
The correspondence reflects that a nominating petition was filed for the nominee; that the number of nominating
petitions received did not exceed the number of offices to be filled; that notice was published on September 20,
2013 pursuant to Water Code Section 50471 advising that no election would be held for the office of Trustee of
the District; and that no petition requesting an election is known to have been filed.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The proposed nominee to Reclamation District 2026 (Webb Tract) Board of Trustees would not be approved.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
