This month staff received an application from Nicole Alvarado who would like to be appointed. This is an At-Large position, and the term would be for the remainder of the term which would end on April 6, 2023. The Board could make the motion to fill the remaining term and carry the appointment into the next term which would have an end date of April 6, 2025.
All appointed members are required to comply with the California Fair Political Act and file form 700’s as well as completd the AB1234 Ethics Training requirements every 2 years.
