To: Board of Supervisors
From: Candace Andersen, District II Supervisor
Report Title: APPOINTMENT TO THE ALAMO-LAFAYETTE CEMETERY DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPOINT Steven Bolen, a Lafayette resident, to the Trustee 3 Seat of the Alamo-Lafayette Cemetery District Board of Directors for a four-year term beginning January 6, 2025, with an expiration date of January 5, 2029, as recommended by Supervisor Candace Andersen.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE
BACKGROUND:
Established by the Board of Supervisors on April 5, 1937, the purpose of the Alamo-Lafayette Cemetery District Board of Directors is to establish rates to be charged for burials within the cemeteries of the district which will allow the grave to be maintained on a self-supporting basis; to prepare and maintain maps detailing information about the lots; to keep records of all remains interred in the cemeteries. (Health and Safety Code, Section 8961.4 and 8963).
Membership is comprised of three trustees who must live in the district. Terms are for four years from the date of appointment. Due to redistricting, all three Trustee Seats fall within District Two, therefore the District Two Supervisor is responsible for the recruitment and recommendations for appointment to the Board of Supervisors for all three seats.
Supervisor Andersen advertised the expiring seat, received applications, met with applicants and feels Mr. Bolen will be of great benefit to the Cemetery Board and the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The seat will become vacant.
