Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact.


Summary: Trinity County Special Districts have their regular district election in November of odd-numbered years. When the number of candidates does not exceed the number of offices to be filled, the candidates do not go on the ballot, but rather, the Board of Supervisors appoints, in lieu of election, those candidates who filed. Appointments shall be made by Election Day, November 7, 2017.


Discussion: The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors posted notices of vacancies for the following Districts: Coffee Creek Volunteer Fire District Post Mountain Public Utilities District Salyer Community Services District Weaverville-Douglas City Parks and Recreation District Weaverville Sanitary District No letters of interest were received by the Board of Supervisors Office for any of the posted vacancies. The following Special Districts, even with approval of the requested appointments-in-lieu of election, will not have enough members to constitute a quorum, as filings did not exceed the vacancies: Post Mountain Public Utilities District


Alternatives Including Financial Implications: 1. Approve the Appointments-In-Lieu of Election for all candidates who filed candidacy papers. 2. Do not approve the Appointments-In-Lieu of Election, and provide direction to staff.


Recommendation: I recommend the Board of Supervisors approve the Appointments.
