DISCUSSION
The Ridgecrest Ranchos Recreation and Park District was scheduled to conduct an
election on November 5, 2013 to fill three seats on the Board with expiring terms of
office. At the close of the nomination period, no candidates had filed for the open
seats. Pursuant to Section 10515 of the Elections Code and Section 5780.1 of the
Public Resources Code, the City Council as the supervising authority, shall at a meeting
held prior to December 2, 2013 appoint any qualified persons to fill the vacancies. To
be qualified for appointment, a person must be 18 years of age or older, a U.S. citizen,
and a qualified voter of the district on the date the election was to be held.
In late September, staff corresponded with Perry Cockreham (Board Corresponding
Secretary) who confirmed that incumbent Board Members Jim Hathaway, John Polen,
and Arnold Serkin were willing to continue serving on the Ridgecrest Ranchos
Recreation and Park District Board; therefore, staff recommends their appointment. It
should be noted, the new term of office begins at noon on December 6, 2013 and ends
on December 1, 2017.
