Board to Appoint New Member, Bypassing Voters
The Board is deciding whether to appoint a new member to fill a vacancy or hold a special election, which could cost up to $165,420. An appointment allows the current board to hand-pick a replacement, denying voters in Trustee Area 5 their right to choose their own representative.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND AN ELECTION: Contact the Board (see the Official Agenda link for details): ‘Do not disenfranchise the voters of Trustee Area 5. I urge you to reject the appointment process and call a special election to fill the board vacancy. Let the people decide.’
