President Mecak stated that within 60 days of a board member resignation, the board must have special election or provisional appointment. The resigning board member has to provide Form 700. EC 1000 states that District is what board members are elected to and that board member shall serve as County Board member. The Board is required to advertise in local media. President Mecak indicated that the following are considered local media for our rural area: Bear Valley Cub Reporter, social media, Next Door, US Post Office posting, and district newsletters. If registered voters were unhappy with the appointment they could petition the county clerk for a special election if they felt a vote was necessary.
President Mecak is happy to continue working with District to continue process if the Board is comfortable with it. |

| Trustee Baker, in regards to his request for six (6) month leave of absence, indicated that the start date is in flux and his training could start 9/31/19 or 12/30/19. President Mecak indicated that a leave of absence for a board member can be granted but that the maximum time a board member can be absent consecutively is 90 days, however the Board can extend that for out of state illness or urgent necessity. President Meack is working with legal to determine the definition of urgent necessity. At this time the understanding is that if a board member is absent for more than three months then the board member has vacated their position on the board. President Mecak asked Trustee Baker if it would be possible to request from his training officer(s) / program a designated time to call in twice during the six month absence. If that can be arranged the leave of absence might be supported. Trustee Baker said he would look into it and report back to the board. |
