The Tulare County Board of Supervisors is seeking a Tulare County resident to serve on the Delta Vector Control District Board of Trustees as an at-large member.
The Delta Vector Control District is the authority for vector control and vector-borne disease prevention in the northern portion of Tulare County. The board consists of seven members, five from the north county incorporated cities, and two County at-large members.
Anyone interested in serving on the Delta Vector Control District Board must qualify under existing Mosquito Abatement and Vector Control District Law, which includes the following:
* Each person appointed by a Board of Supervisors to be a member of a board of trustees shall be a voter in that county and a resident of that portion of the county that is within the district.
* Persons appointed to Board of Trustees have experience, training, and education in fields that will assist in the governance of the districts.
* All trustees shall exercise their independent judgment on behalf of the interests of the residents, property owners, and the public as a whole in furthering the purposes and intent of this chapter. The
trustees shall represent the interests of the public as a whole and not solely the interests of the board of supervisors or the city council that appointed them.
The county is looking to fill a County at-large vacancy to fill the unexpired term ending December 31, 2016. At the end of the term, a reappointment can be made for two more years. Board members receive a stipend of $50 per month in lieu of expenses. Meetings occur on the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm at the District office.
