Summary of Request:
Majority Mendocino County’s Special Districts have their district elections in November of even-numbered years. When the number of candidates does not exceed the number of offices to be filled, the candidates do not go to the ballot, but rather, the Board of Supervisors appoints, in-lieu of election, those candidates who filed their candidacy paperwork. The Board may appoint any qualified person to fill any remaining seats for which there were insufficient candidates. Appointments shall be made by Election Day, November 3, 2026.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve the Appointments-In-Lieu of Election and provide direction to staff.
