Elections Code Section 10515 requires the Registrar of Voters to submit a certificate of facts to the Board of Supervisors when the number of persons who have filed a Declaration of Candidacy for director does not exceed the number of offices of director to be filled at a general district election. To comply with Section 10515, I am submitting the resolution titled “Resolution Appointing Directors of Certain Special District Boards In Lieu of Holding a General District Election on November 5, 2024” to your Board with the names of persons who filed a Declaration of Candidacy for each of the Special Districts that are not required to hold an election because there are no more nominees than there are vacancies. Section 10515 also states that if no person has filed a Declaration of Candidacy for any office, the Board of Supervisors shall appoint any person to the office who is qualified on the date when the election would have been held.

BUCKINGHAM PARK WATER DISTRICT
John Maurer, 4 year term
BUCKINGHAM PARK WATER DISTRICT
