BACKGROUND:
On October 15, 1991 the Board of Supervisors referredi to our
Committee the issue .of filling one or more seats. on the. Board of
Trustees of Reclamation District 2065 (Veale Tract) . The- problem
was that two members of the three member Board of Trustees had
resigned, leaving the remaining member (Mr. John Mass) with no
way to operate the Reclamation District.
On October 28, 1991 our Committee met with Mr's. Rachael
Baldocchi, Mr. John Mass and Victor J. Westman, County Counsel.
We reviewed the attached correspondence and:. heard comments. from
those who were present. Mr. Westman. noted that the Board of
Supervisors has no authority to fill both. of the vacancies on the
Board of Trustees since the: State law permits the Board of
Supervisors in these circumstances only to appoint to enough
seats to create a quorum (one in this case) . Thereafaer, the
State law permits the Board. of Trustees to make appointments_ or
to call an election to fill. vacancies on the Board. of Trustees..
It has been suggested. by Mrs. Baldocchi. that the Board of
Trustees be expanded to five seats so that all landowners can be
seated on the Board of Trustees. While our Committee has no
objection to this solution, the. Board of Supervisors cannot
impose such a requirement- on the. Board. of Trustees..
Our Committee is prepared to recommend the appointment of Mrs.
Baldocchi, on the basis of oral. assurances: given to our Committee.
by Mr. Mass and Mrs. Baldocchi. that. they wil.l. appoint eilther Mr.
Alfred Affinito or Mr. Michael Affini.to to. the vacant third seat.
on the Board of Trustees. and that the Board- of Trustees- will then
take the necessary steps to expand. the. Board. to five members and.
follow through on either the appointment of Mr. Thomas_ Baldocchi
and the remaining Mr. Aff.inito. to the. Board of Trustees: or
calling an election for that purpose., as may be requiredlby State.
law.
With these assurances, our Committee recommends. the appointment.
of Mrs. Baldocchi. to the Board. of Trustees of Reclamation
District 2065.
