Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Dunnigan Water District and North Delta Water Agency (NDWA) are landowner districts with elected offices up for election in 2025. The districts opted to hold their own election to fill their open elected Director positions. Dunnigan Water District (DWD) is contained within Yolo County Supervisorial District 5 and elects directors at-large. Dunnigan Water District had two full-term positions and one short -term position up for election. North Delta Water Agency, Division 5 is within the southerly part of Yolo County (Supervisorial Districts 1 and 4) and the northerly part of Solano County. See Attachment E, North Delta Water Agency Map.
The Certificate of Facts and the landowner districts' request letters certified the number of persons who filed a declaration of candidacy did not exceed the number of offices to be filled at their election. This recommended action completes the procedure for the appointments in-lieu of election due to insufficient nominees for each landowner district election.
