Board of Trustees
Governance
The District is governed by a Board of Trustees. Each city and county within the boundaries of the District may appoint a single representative to the Board. A Trustee must be a resident and an elector (registered to vote) of the city from which he/she is appointed. The Board of Trustees establishes District policies and makes budget decisions including that of the salaries and benefits of all District employees.
Individual Trustees cannot act independently to change policies, guidelines or budget items including salaries and benefits. All policy, guideline, and budget changes must be an act of the full Board at a scheduled and publicly posted meeting of the Board of Trustees.
