Instead, the SDA requested LAFCO to conduct these elections on the districts' behalf, which we have done faithfully for many years. We are fully aware that those districts who have already met their voting responsibilities are tiring of receiving these notices, but it is imperative that Butte County Special Districts be fully represented on LAFCO and this requires the participation of a quorum of special districts. If your district has done its part, THANK YOU...but please don't ignore this notice, but rather reach out to neighboring districts to participate and end this election.
