RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT
ESTABLISHING PROCEDURE FOR PUBLISHED
ADVERTISEMENT OF ELECTIONS TO FILL BOARD
SEATS AND OF OPPORTUNITIES TO APPLY FOR
BOARD VACANCIES
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula

NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Midpen-
insula Regional Park District does resolve as follows:
Section One. Within the seven days preceding the open-
ing date for taking out nomination papers preceding any election
at which directors are to be elected, the Secretary shall cause
to be published in one or more newspapers circulated within an
affected ward a reasonably prominent advertisement setting forth
the fact of the election, the purpose of the election and includ-
ing information as to qualifications, nomination procedure and
other matters likely to be of interest to potential candidates
for such office.
Section Two. Immediately upon the occurrence of a vacancy
which may be filled by the Board pursuant to Public Resources
Code Section 5536, the Secretary shall cause to be published in
one or more newspapers circulated within an affected ward a rea-
sonably prominent advertisement setting forth the fact of the
vacancy, that it may be filled by the Board, and that any quali-
fied person may apply within ten days to be considered for such
P
appointment upon a form to be provided by the Secretary for
such purpose.
Section Three. For purposes of Sections One and Two,
the newspaper(s) circulated in the ward most likely to give
adequate notice, and to be used for publication, are as follows:
