Re: Request that Future Appointments be Based on Calendar Year
Dear Carlos:
I am writing to ask for your assistance regarding the future
appointment of Trustees from your agency to our Board. It has
recently been brought to my attention that the terms of office for
certain Trustees from member agencies are not in conformity with
Section 2024 of the Health and Safety Code. This Code Section
requires that terms of office for appointees be for either two or four
years, at the appointing authority's discretion, and must commence
at noon on the first Monday in January, and follow the calendar
year.
The terms of office for several Trustees are set to expire in the near
future. In light of this fact, I request that the appropriate appointing
bodies take action to conform these new terms to the
aforementioned requirement.
Thank you in advance for your help in this matter. Please feel free
to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ray Griest
Interim General Manager
