DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board approve the appointment of Supervisor Brown as the alternate to the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District Board of Trustees.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
On January 7, 2025, as part of the Board’s annual appointments to various boards, commissions, the Board appointed Supervisor Cassandra James as the primary to the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District (VFWD) Board of Trustees and Mr. Donald Tipton, as a public member, to be Supervisor James’ alternate. Mr. Tipton no longer wants to serve as an Alternate.
Pursuant to Section 3(b) of VFWD’s enabling legislation (AB 1355, 1995 ch. 118), the eighth member of the VFWD Board of Trustees appointed by the Board of Supervisors must be a Supervisor representing either Supervisorial Districts 1 or 2 or be a public member who resides in the unincorporated area within the boundaries of VFWD. Since Mr. Tipton no longer wants to serve, it is recommended that the Board appoint Supervisor Monica Brown from District 2 as the Alternate.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing this agenda item are nominal and are included in the Department’s FY2024/25 Working Budget.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could choose not to appoint Supervisor Brown as alternate; however, this is not recommended since per the VFWD’s enabling legislation, this appointment must be the District 2 Supervisor or a public member who resides in the unincorporated area within VFWD’s boundaries.

None.
