REPORT
September 18 , 1990
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: H. Grench, General Manager
PREPARED BY: J. Fiddes , District Clerk
SUBJECT: Procedure for Filling of Ward 4 Board Vacancy
Recommended Actions :
1 . Determine whether the Board vacancy in Ward 4 will be filled by
appointment or by the election process .
2 . If you decide to fill the vacancy by appointment , you need to:
(a) approve the application form to be used;
(b) reaffirm the use of the General Criteria for Appointment to the
Board of Directors or modify them as you deem necessary;
(c) reaffirm the use of the Procedures for Interviews or modify them
as you deem necessary;
(d) establish a timetable for filling the vacancy, including setting
the dates for the first and second round of interviews, assuming
you reaffirm the Procedures for Interviews .
3 . If you decide to fill the vacancy by calling an election, you need to
establish the date of the election. Staff would subsequently return
with the appropriate resolution for calling the election and request-
ing consolidation services from Santa Clara County.
Discussion
At your August 22, 1990 Regular Meeting, Director Shelley announced that he
would be resigning from the Board on Tuesday, September 25, 1990 .
As the District ' s governing body, you can either fill the vacancy by
appointment or call an election to fill it. The attached report R-90-106
dated September 17 , 1990 from your Legal Counsel updates you on the
procedure for filling the vacancy.
The following material summarizes the actions you would have to take to
fill the Ward 4 vacancy by Board appointment or by election.
A. APPOINTMENT
1 . Appointment Date: The appointment would have to be made by
November 26, 1990, 60 days from E. Shelley' s resignation date.
2 . Approval of Application Form: The form used to fill the Ward 2
vacancy in 1987 and the Ward 6 vacancy in 1989 is attached for
your review.

3. Reaffirm the use of or modify as you deem necessary the General
Criteria for Appointment to the Board of Directors: You adopted
the attached criteria at your July 8 , 1987 meeting. They were
recommended by your Board Vacancy Appointment Procedure Committee
composed of Directors Henshaw and Shelley. Staff would
distribute a copy of the criteria to all Ward 4 applicants .
4. Reaffirm the use of or modify as you deem necessary the
Procedures for Interviews : The attached procedures were also
adopted at your July 8 , 1987 meeting after being presented by the
Board Vacancy Appointment Procedure Committee.
5. Establish a Timetable for Filling the Vacancy: Government Code
Section 1780 requires that a notice of vacancy shall be posted in
three or more conspicuous places in the District at least 15 days
before the appointment is made. Staff would post the notice
accordingly, as well as place notices concerning filling the
vacancy in appropriate newspapers .
In addition, assuming you determine to fill the vacancy by
appointment, you should schedule the dates for your first and
second round of interviews. These dates would be included in the
material distributed to all Ward 4 applicants.
6 . The person appointed to fill the vacancy would serve only until
the next District general election in November 1992, which is the
regular Ward 4 election date.
B. ELECTION
Since deadline dates have passed for filling the Ward 4 vacancy in the
November 1990 general election, the next available scheduled election
date is March 5, 1991 . At this time, the Santa Clara County Registrar
of Voters does not know if any of the jurisdictions in Ward 4 will be
on the March 1991 ballot. The pro-rata cost of being on the March
1991 ballot would depend on what Ward 4 jurisdictions were also on the
ballot . If the District were to hold a special election not tied to
any scheduled elections in other jurisdictions, election costs are
estimated at $60 , 000. There are approximately 45, 000 in Ward 4 .
As noted in item six above, the elected Ward 4 director would serve
until the regular Ward 4 election date in November 1992.

REPORT
September 17 , 1990
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: S . Norton, Legal Counsel
SUBJECT: Procedure for Filling Board Vacancies
In view of the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation
of Edward Shelley (Ward 4) , I have been asked to update you on the
procedure for filling the vacancy.
There have been no pertinent changes in the applicable law since my memo of
April 1 , 1987 , written when the Board similarly had a vacancy (Dan Wendin,
Ward 2) . A copy of that memo is attached.
It appears to me that the procedures developed by the Board at that time
could equally apply to the filling of this vacancy.
If the vacancy is filled by appointment , rather than by election, the
person appointed would serve the balance of Edward Shelley' s term, or until
November 1992 , when an election is regularly scheduled in Ward 4 . If the
vacancy is filled by election, the next available ballot date appears to be
March 1991 , and the person elected would have to run again in November
1992.

REPORT _
April 1, 1987
To : Board of Directors
From: Stan Dorton, Legal Counsel
Subject: Procedure for Filling Board Vacancies
I have been asked to discuss the legal alternatives
available for filling a vacancy on the board, and possible
ramifications .
Attached is a copy of Government Code Section 1780,
which comprehensively sets forth the method for filling
vacancies on elected governing boards of special districts.
Briefly su-zunarized, within 60 days of the vacancy
the board of directors may either appoint to fill the
vacancy or call an election for that purpose.
If it does neither, the board of supervisors
(Santa Clara County) may within 90 days of the vacancy
fill it by appointment or order the district to call an
election. If the board of supervisors (or the board of
directors) has not filled the vacancy within 90. days,
"the district shall call an election to fill the vacancy. "
A person appointed to fill the vacancy would
serve only until the next district general election (here,
November, 1988 , even though not a regular election date in
Ward 2) . Then there would be another election in Ward 2
two years later, in November, 1990 , the regular election
date in Ward 2 .
A person elected to fill the vacancy would serve
the balance of the term of office (until November, 1990) .
Thus, because of the unusual circumstances,
it becomes obvious that one additional election will have
to be held in Ward 2 whether• the vacancy is filled by
appointment or by election.

When a vacancy exists will depend on the
effective date of Dan S•iendin' s resignation. Based on
the elections information provided in the accompanying
staff memorandum, the earliest available election date
is Nove,,ber, 1987 , ...but the . vacancy would have to be
created early enough for the board to adopt its resolution
calling an election by "early June. " otherwise the next
available election date would appear to- be April, 1988 ,
and the District' s cost of an election then would be
significantly greater.
Section 1780 requires that an appointment to
fill a vacancy be preceded by 15 daysposted notice.
Additionally, the board may recall that by Resolution 76-22
it imposed upon itself the additional requirement of
published notice of the vacancy, whether it is to be
filled by appointment or by election.
Finally, it should be noted that if the
vacancy is filled by appointment the seat would be vacant
for a comparatively short time. if it is filled by
election the seat would be vacant for a minimum of six
months (June November) _

•Bring vaccinations up to date, test for heartworm,give preventive pills. Make sure good ID tag is well attached.
• Take water for the dog in the car and on a hike, a six-foot leash, a bag to pick up poop.
•A car heats up quickly. Dogs cannot sweat to cool off. It is dangerous to leave dogs alone in cars on warm days.
•A long hike may be too strenuous for your dog. Know his physical condition. Rough terrain, hot pavement can hurt soft paws.
•It's unwise to leave a dog in a campground.
•A dog that wanders into a cow or sheep pasture may legally be shot.
•A dog chasing deer may et lost.He could kill the deer.

•Shorebirds may miss a meal if dogs disturb them.
•Digging in the tidal zone may be all right, but digging up plants is not.
• Your dog may frighten other people, even if you know he would not hurt anyone.
•Check the dog for ticks and foxtails after walks or at day's end.
• Your dog needs daily exercise.
