DISCUSSION:
Governing board member, Linda Feretto, resigned from the Briceland CSD board on July 8, 2019.

Government Code, Section 61040, requires government board members to be registered voters and reside within the district boundary. Briceland CSD did not receive any interest from registered voters who reside in the district.
Briceland CSD did receive interest from Joaquin Courtemanche. Mr. Courtemanche is a new owner of an annexed parcel in the district's sphere of influence. Mr. Courtemanche's residence has historically been served by Briceland CSD and he currently pays for water from Briceland CSD.
Pursuant to Government Code, Section 1780 (f)(1), when a vacancy is not filled by the district board by appointment, the board of supervisors of the county may appoint a person to fill the vacancy within 90 days of the date of the vacancy. Government Code, Section 24001, authorizes the board of supervisors to waive Government Code, Section 61040, for an appointed district office when it finds that the best interests of the district will be served.
