Hillcrest Dr. Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 RE: RUNOFF ELECTION — Ventura LAFCo Independent Special District Alternate Member Dear President/Chair of the Board: As you may recall, the ballots to select a new LAFCo alternate special district member were due on October 14, 2016. A total of 18 ballots were received and, based on the votes cast among the five candidates, no candidate received a majority of the votes of the quorum. Pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Ventura County Independent Special District Selection Committee (ISDSC), "A candidate shall be deemed elected upon receiving a majority of the votes of a quorum of the ISDSC. Should no candidate receive a majority vote, the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall then be voted upon." In this case, there were three candidates who received the highest number of votes, with two being tied. Listed alphabetically, they are: Al Fox, Mike Mischler, and Andy Waters. Enclosed please find your Official Runoff Ballot for the election of a special district alternate member to the Ventura LAFCo. This runoff election is being conducted by mail pursuant to California Government Code Section 56332(c) (or by email, if consent has been received by your District - see enclosed list of those districts which have consented to email), and is consistent with the Rules and Regulations of the Ventura County Independent Special Districts Selection Committee. In the event that your governing board meeting schedule may not allow for completion of your district's ballot by the Friday, December 9, 2016, deadline for whatever reason, please note that LAFCo special district members are to be selected by the Independent Special District Selection Committee, which is defined by state law as the "presiding officer of the legislative body of each independent special district" (Government Code §56325 and §56332). Neither LAFCo law nor the Brown Act requires that the presiding officer of the legislative body of a special district make his or her selection under Government Code section 56332 at a public meeting or obtain the approval of the legislative body before making the selection. Therefore, unless your district's enabling statutes
