Consider CALAFCO 2025 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 at the CALAFCO Annual Conference

1. Determine any nominee for a city member and public member to the 2025 CALAFCO Executive Board.
2. Authorize the Chair to sign a letter of recommendation of support if a nominee is chosen.
3. Designate the voting delegate and alternate.

CALAFCO Executive Board members are not reimbursed by the Association. Each LAFCo absorbs the traveling costs of 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 into a meeting may 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 from $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 city and public member seats are open in the Central Region, where Yolo LAFCo is located. Board terms span a two-year period, with no term limits, and any LAFCo commissioner or alternate commissioner is eligible to run for a Board seat.

Nominations are due to the recruitment committee by Friday, September 19, 2025. The election will be conducted during the Regional Caucuses at the CALAFCO Annual Conference prior to the Annual Membership Meeting on Thursday, October 23, 2025, at the Wyndham Bayside Hotel in San Diego, CA.

The 2025 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. 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.

According to the Yolo LAFCo Administrative Policies and Procedures, the most senior Regular Commissioner attending the conference will be the voting member. If no regular commissioner attends the CALAFCO conference, the Executive Officer will be the voting member.
