Report Title: Reclamation District 2122 Board of Trustees Appointments
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPOINT, in lieu of election, Katie Wadsworth and Emma Mendonsa to the Board of Trustees of reclamation District 2122 for four year terms, beginning December 5, 2025 and ending December 7, 2029 as recommended by the County Administrator.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors received correspondence from Gallery & Barton, a law corporation representing Reclamation District 2122 (Winter Island). On behalf of the Reclamation District, Gallery & Barton has requested that the Board of Supervisors make appointments to fill two seats on the District's Board of Trustees in lieu of election. The District did not receive any nominations for the positions, other than from the incumbents. Additionally, the District has not received any petitions from landowners requesting an election be held. Pursuant to Water Code section 50740 and 50741, the District will thus publish notice that the election has been canceled. Therefore, the District requests that the incumbents be appointed for four-year terms, pursuant to Water Code sections 50741 and 50742.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The proposed nominees to the Board of Trustees for Reclamation District 2122 would not be approved, and the District’s Board of Trustees would have difficulty conducting business.
