Last night, the Hi-Desert Water District Board of Directors discussed adopting a transition to a “by-division” electoral system by the November 2022 general election. The water district currently has an “at-large” system, where voters in the water district boundaries can vote for two or three directors at each election. Under the “by-division” system, voters could vote for only one director who resides in their neighborhood. The board voted to hold off on making the transition until after the census results are in. The directors felt it would save the water district money in case the census changed the districts.
Next, the Board appointed Jeff Brady and Scot McKone to the Public Advisory Committee with their service starting in June 2020.
