Board of Trustees

 

The District’s governing power is vested in the Board of Trustees, which is comprised of 35 members. One trustee is appointed by each respective city and the County Board of Supervisors appoints one. To be appointed, the member must be a resident voter of the representative city (or county for county member) in the District. Board member duties and responsibilities include setting policy, establishing the budget, approving expenditures, and retaining legal council. The trustees serve a minimum of two years or maximum four-year term without compensation, but do receive an in lieu travel expense of $100 for attending each regularly scheduled board meeting.

 

 The regularly scheduled board meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month, starting at 7:00 p.m., at District headquarters in Santa Fe Springs. All meetings are open to the public.
