DISCUSSION AND ACTION RE VACANCY ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Attorney Farrell read Section 1780 of the Government Code relating
to filling the vacancy on the Board of Directors as a result of Norman
W. Forrest's resignation, due to an opinion stating his serving on two
boards was incompatible. Attorney Farrell stated he felt the vacancy
occurred at the time Mr. Forrest accepted the office as a Director
on the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Board. Mr.
Forrest was sworn into office on January 3, 1979. Mr. Farrell stated
according to a Supreme Court decision, his action of accepting the
office would cause an immediate vacancy on the former Board. Since
the District has only 60 days in which to appoint someone or call an
election, Mr. Farrell stated he felt the best alternative would be to
call an election, due to insufficient time to appoint someone. Other-
wise, the Board of Supervisors would have the~ption of appointing
someone to serve on the Board for the period of time from now until
the next general election in November. If an election is called by
the District, the person elected will serve the remaining term of
Mr. Forrest's, which will be until November 1981. There was a discus-
sion regarding President Wall and Director Stoops possibly being in-
compatible with their Board positions also. Attorney Farrell suggest-
ed the Board handle the present matter at this time.
