Consider CALAFCO 2023 Board of Director Nominations for one City Member and one Public Member for the Central Region and designate a voting delegate and alternate for the election

1. Determine any nominee for a City Member to the 2023 CALAFCO Executive Board.
2. Determine any nominee for a Public Member to the 2023 CALAFCO Executive Board.
3. Authorize the Chair to sign a letter of recommendation of support if a nominee is chosen.
4. Designate voting delegate and alternate.

CALAFCO Executive Board Members are not reimbursed by the Association. Each LAFCo absorbs the traveling costs for its own member on the Executive Board. The estimated annual traveling costs will vary depending on the location of Board meetings. Board members may participate in meetings via conference call; however, because of the length of Board meetings, those who choose to conference in have a more difficult time participating. The Board meets four to five times each year at alternate sites around the state. The annual cost could range for $500 to $1,000 if air travel is required. Sufficient funds can be budgeted for this expense.

The CALAFCO Recruitment Committee is accepting nominations to the Executive Board. The Executive Board is composed of 16 members, four from each region including a city, county, public and special district member. The offices of the City and Public Member are open in the Central Region, where Yolo LAFCo is located. Public Member Anita Paque (Calaveras) has indicated she will run for another term and City Member Daniel Parra (Fresno) will not be running for reelection.

Nominations are due to the recruitment committee by Monday, September 18, 2023. The election will be conducted during Regional Caucuses at the CALAFCO Annual Conference prior to the Annual Membership Meeting on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency in Monterey, CA.

The 2023 CALAFCO Board of Directors Election Nomination packet includes an invitation from the Recruitment Committee, details on any changes to the election process, current CALAFCO Board Members, and nomination forms. Any submitted changes in bylaws or other association administrative documents may also be voted upon at the annual conference. Electronic ballots will be available for LAFCos in good standing that cannot send representatives to the Annual Meeting.

According to the Yolo LAFCo Administrative Policies and Procedures, the most senior Regular Commissioner attending the conference will be the voting member. Additionally, to accommodate the smaller number of voters in each region, a runoff election will be required in the event of a tie or a non-majority vote.
