§ 60008 District Board Appointments

Key Takeaways

  • •The board has 5 voting members, each picked by a different city or county in Yolo.
  • •Each city or county picks one main member and one backup member.
  • •Two extra people (from UC Davis and the Department of Transportation) can join meetings but can't vote.
  • •The voting members get paid a small amount for each meeting they attend.

Example

If the City of Davis wants to pick someone for the board, the city council chooses one person to be the main member and another to be the backup.

The backup only goes to meetings if the main member can't make it. The main member gets paid for each meeting.
