UPDATED NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Directors of the Linda County Water District has amended its schedule of public hearings pursuant to Elections Code section 10010 to receive public comments and input regarding the adoption of a map to establish the voting divisions for electing the District’s five Directors as originally announced in the public notice published on June 27, 2023. The amended schedule of hearings is:

• The hearing on August 14, 2023, originally scheduled as the fourth and final public hearing at which the Board of Directors originally intended to enact an ordinance selecting a map of the final voting division boundaries and setting a sequence of electing Directors from the five voting divisions, has been cancelled and is replaced with a continuation of Hearing No. 3 commenced at the July 10, 2023 board meeting.
• The fourth and final hearing at which the ordinance adopting the final division map and election sequence will be considered is rescheduled to Monday, September 11, 2023 at 6:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard.

The continued third public hearing and fourth and final hearing will be held at the District Office, 1280 Scales Avenue, Marysville, California, as stated on the August 14, 2023 and September 11, 2023 agendas posted at the District office and website the Friday before each board meeting.

The four maps of the proposed voting divisions were previously published and are posted on the District’s website (see below). The Board will further discuss and consider selecting a final map from the four draft maps at the August 14, 2023 continued hearing.

At the final hearing on September 11, 2023, the Board will consider enacting an ordinance to approve the proposed final map and sequence of elections, and authorize other actions to implement the new District by-division election system.
