88 1 Bay Area Water Supply IE ConseMitIon Agency April 14, 2009 CITY OF REDWOOD CITY CITY RK The Hon. Rosanne Foust, Mayor City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road Redwood City, CA 94063 Subject: Appointment of a Director to the Boards of the Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency and the Bay Area Regional Water System Financing Authority Dear Mayor Fous~ The term of council member Barbara Pierce on the board of directors of the Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency (BA WSCA) will end on June 30,2009, as will her term on the San Francisco Bay Area Regional Water System Financing Authority (RF A). The enabling acts for both agencies allow the City to reappoint its director for an unlimited number of terms or to replace him or her at the end of each term. The appointment will be for a four-year term, Hence, whoever is appointed will serve through June 30, 2013. The enabling acts for both agencies require that a vacancy on their boards be filled no later than 90 days from the date the vacancy occurs. As applied, the statutes require action by your Council no later than September 30, 2009. However, we strongly encourage your' agency to make the appointments before June 30, effective July 1, so that a quorum of both boards can be ensured and so that your agency is continuously represented. The statutory qualifications for appointment to either board are modest: . The appointee must be a resident of, and a registered voter in, the City. . He or she may, but need not, be a member of your City Council. The mechanics of the appointment process are also simple: . The appointments must be made at a public meeting of the City Council and be properly agendized. . The appointments must be made by action of the full City Council, rather than by unilateral action of the Mayor. . The appointments do not need to be memorialized in a resolution; a motion duly passed and recorded in the minutes of the meeting is sufficient. . When the appointments have been made, the appointed director may take the oaths of office. Forms for the oaths of office for BA WSCA and the RF A are enclosed for your convenience. When the forms have been signed, please mail the original oath of office forms to the 156 Bovet Road, Suite 302 · San Mateo, CA 94402 · ph 650 349 3000 fx660 349 8396 · www.bawsca.org
