Title
CONSIDER THE APPOINTMENT OF CARSON RECLAMATION AUTHORITY BOARD MEMBERS (HOUSING AUTHORITY AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICTS 2012-1 AND 2012-2)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The Carson Reclamation Authority is a joint powers agency formed between the Carson Housing Authority, the Community Facilities District No. 2012-1 of the City of Carson, and the Community Facilities District No. 2012-2 of the City of Carson. The Reclamation Authority is governed by a five member board of directors whose membership is made by category, and generally appointed by the Chairman of the Carson Housing Authority subject to ratification by a majority vote of the Housing Authority Board, with the exception of one appointment made by the Board of the Community Facilities Districts.
Two terms expire in March, 2020: Chairman Robles and former City Council member Elito Santarina, who was appointed by the Chair of the Community Facilities District and ratified by the Board. The Chairman of each board - the Housing Authority and the Districts - would nominate members to serve new five year terms, subject to the ratification by a majority of board members.
