Subject: BUTTE LAFCO - Election of a Special District Regular "Non-Enterprise" Member and a Special
District Alternate "Enterprise/Non-Enterprise" Member
Importance: High
On March 12, 2021, Butte LAFCO held an election (original correspondence attached) for a Special
District Regular "Non-Enterprise" Member and a Special District Alternate “Enterprise/Non-
Enterprise” Member. Ballots were requested to be returned at or before 4:00 p.m., Friday, May 14,
2021.
As of 4:05 p.m. on Friday, May 14, 2021, fourteen (14) ballots were been returned. Districts who
participated include:

Richvale Irrigation District
Paradise Recreation and Park District
Butte County Mosquito & Vector Control District

Thompson Flat Cemetery District
South Feather Water & Power Agency
Chico Area Recreation & Park District
The election is not valid, as a quorum (21) of districts must complete and return their ballots. Please
note that this process will repeat until such time ballots are received from a majority of the
districts. Therefore, the election period has been extended until Friday, July 2, 2021. Those
districts who have already submitted their votes need not vote again; however, those who have
not, your participation is requested. Current Special District LAFCO representatives will continue to
serve until such time a valid election is concluded or their term of office expires.
Attached, please find the original memorandum (Nomination Results 3-12-2021) which explains this
process and provides simple instructions. Also attached, please find a ballot (Election Ballot 3-12-
2021). Votes shall be made by an official action of your Districts’ Board of Directors; however,
should your Districts’ Board of Directors decline to vote, simply return your Districts’ ballot
certifying no vote signed by your Chair, or an alternative District Board Member chosen by your
Districts’ Board AND a counter signature by the Districts’ General Manager/Secretary of the
Board.
This is an important ballot, as your Special District LAFCO Alternate Member will be making decisions
on budget issues, policies and projects that may have a direct impact on your district. Please
participate in this election by submitting your vote.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stephen Lucas, Executive Officer or
myself at 538-7784. Thank you.
