DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
It is requested that the Board approve the appointments of Aaron J. McAlister, Jim Frische and Carl Hakenen as Directors of the Cordelia Fire Protection District for terms to expire December 2, 2022.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Uniform District Election Law ("UDEL") establishes a body of election laws to be used by various special districts throughout the State to govern the election of officers. UDEL applies to the election of officers of fire protection districts; a director is a member of the governing body. The Cordelia Fire Protection District holds its elections with the statewide general elections. The county registrar of voters is the election official.
If the number of persons who have filed a declaration of candidacy for director does not exceed the number of directors to be elected and if the election official is not presented with a petition signed by 50 or more of the voters requesting a general district election, no election is held. The election official submits a certificate of these facts to the board of supervisors and requests that the board appoint those who have filed declarations of candidacy.
The Registrar of Voters on behalf of the Cordelia Fire Protection District received three declarations of candidacy for the three offices of director and did not receive a petition requesting a general district election. Accordingly, the Registrar requests that the Board of Supervisors appoint the declared candidates, Aaron J. McAlister, Jim Frische and Carl Hakenen as Directors of the Cordelia Fire Protection District for terms to expire on December 2, 2022.
