§ 11653 Director Residency Requirements

This law says only people who live in the district and can vote there can be directors, and if a board seat becomes empty because of boundary changes, the other directors can appoint someone without worrying about ward lines.

Key Takeaways

•Directors must live in the district and be registered voters there.
•If a board seat opens due to territory changes, the remaining directors can appoint a replacement.
•When appointing, the usual ward boundaries can be ignored.

Example

A resident of the district wants to become a director but moves to a neighboring area.

Because the person is no longer a resident of the district, they cannot serve as a director, even if they previously held the position.

No person may serve as a director unless he is a resident and voter of the district as finally determined. Any vacancies on the board caused by the elimination of territory shall be filled by appointment by the remaining directors, in which case ward lines may be disregarded. (Enacted by Stats. 1951, Ch. 764.)
