Board Members,
We have been looking into the issue of appointing Directors to the Resource Conservation District
(RCD). The specific question is if a qualifying resident can serve as an RCD Director if they live outside
the supervisory district that corresponds with the RCD vacancy.
The answer, while convoluted, is yes.
To be qualified to be a director, a candidate must either live and own property in the unincorporated
area of a supervisorial district or be a designated agent for someone who does. For a candidate to
be a designated agent, a letter from an individual who lives and owns property in the
unincorporated area of a supervisorial district that designates the candidate as that individual’s
agent is sufficient to show that the candidate is the designated agent.
So the first step for any potential candidate is to fill out the Board of Supervisors application form
and give it to the Clerk of the Board to determine whether the candidate is qualified. If the individual
lives outside of the supervisorial district, their application must be accompanied with a letter from
an individual who lives in the district designating the applicant as their agent. At that point the
appointment can be agendized for Board of Supervisors consideration.
Currently, the RCD has vacancies in Districts 1 and 4, both for a Board of Directors Regular seat.
