RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
SAN MARCOS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT AUTHORIZING THE
CHANGE OF THE GENERAL DISTRICT ELECTION TO
COINCIDE WITH THE STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION
WHEREAS, Section 23509.1 of the Elections Code authorizes
the governing Boards of Special Districts to revise the dates for
the conduct of General District Elections to the day of the
Statewide Direct Primary Election or the day of the Statewide
General Election; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has determined that a change
of the General District Election date to coincide with the
Statewide General Election will reduce the cost of the General
District Election and afford a greater participation of voters in
the District in the selection of Directors to the District Board;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SAN MARCOS
COUNTY WATER DISTRICT DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Board of Directors of the San Marcos County
Water District finds and determines that it is in the best inter-
est of the District and the residents of the District to change
the date of the General District Election of members to the Board
of Directors to coincide with the Statewide General Election in
that there would be a reduction of the cost of the General
District Election through such coordination and the availability
to voters of the District of greater opportunity to participate
in the election of the members of the Board of Directors through
previously experienced greater voter participation in Statewide
General Elections.
