SUMMARY:
Prior Board Direction
Per prior direction, the Clerk of the Board (Clerk) provided outreach, advertised in local papers, and posting the vacancy on Santa Clara Valley Water District's (Valley Water) web page.
At the December 13, 2022, meeting the Board provided direction to the Clerk to conduct additional outreach to communities to acquire more applicant interest in order to fill the current vacancy. A post was shared in February 2023 on Nextdoor to approximately 756,000 neighbors across Santa Clara County which resulted in one additional applicant.
At the August 22, 2023, meeting the Board requested that the Clerk work with communications to complete some additional outreach, which included a write up in the Valley Water October eNewsletter.
Originally five letters of interest were received. One candidate has since withdrawn his application, leaving four candidates interested in serving on the PFFC. Copies of their letters of interest are included as Attachment 1.
This is the opportunity for the Board to interview the candidates and make an appointment to the PFFC Board of Directors, by adopting a resolution (Attachment 2) in accordance with the PFFC Bylaws.
If the Board makes an appointment to the PFFC Board, the Clerk of the Board will schedule an orientation meeting with the new Director.
