Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Call for a Special Recall Election for the Whetstone Water District Governing Board Members: Robert Tinney, Leonard Howell and Tim Sulger.
Background:
Petitions were filed with the Elections Department demanding the recall of the 3 governing board members on January 9, 2017.

Once Call of Election is approved by the BOS Elections will send letter to the Whetstone Water District of the approval for a Special Recall Election, letting them know that the Elections Department shall have available Candidate Nomination packets for any elector that lives within the Water District Boundaries.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Valid signatures were filed and the impact of not approving goes against statute.
