CENTRALSAN Jdf A- hom CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT April 7, 2022 TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: KATIE YOUNG, SECRETARYOF THE DISTRICT REVIEWED BY: ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: PROVIDE VOTING DIRECTION ON HOW TO CASTTHE DISTRICT'S VOTE FORA REGULAR SPECIAL DISTRICT SEAT UP FOR ELECTION ON THE CONTRA COSTA LOCALAREA FORMATION COMMISSION (LAFCO) Two special district seats on the Contra Costa Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) are up for reelection: the regular seat currently held by Igor Skaredoff (Contra Costa Resource Conservation District), and the alternate seat currently held by Stan Caldwell (Mt. View Sanitary District). Both terms expire in May 2022 and both Commissioners are seeking re-appointment. The term of office for both seats is four years, until May 2026. The 2022 election is scheduled for April 15, 2022, and will be conducted by regular and electronic mail. Ballots must be received by 5:00 p.m. on election day. Information from LAFCO as to special district voting delegates and the nominees for the seats up for reelection is attached. LAFCO sought nominations to fill the regular seat and received five nominations for the one seat. The five candidates for the regular seat are: Igor Skaredoff (Contra Costa Resource Conservation District), Marilyn Tiernan (Diablo Water District), Patricia Bristow(Byron-Brentwood-Knightsen Union Cemetery District), Cesar Zepeda (West County Wastewater District), and Antonio Martinez (Contra Costa Water District). Central San Voting Delegate Member Pilecki provided the following recommendation: All five candidates are qualified to serve on LAFCO and will do a good job if elected. He recommended Central San casts its' ballot for Igor Skaredoff (incumbent)for the regular seat commissioner for the following reasons; as the incumbent commissioner, Mr. Skaredoff has done a good job serving the interests of the public and Contra Costa County and coming from a non-traditional Special District, Mr. Skaredoff brings a unique perspective to the LAFCO Board. LAFCO received only one nomination for the alternate seat member for Stan Caldwell; therefore, no election is necessary for this seat. The Board is now being asked to provide direction to the voting delegate (Member Pilecki) and alternate delegate (Member Hockett) on how to cast the District's vote for the regular seat position.
