At tonight’s 6:30 p.m. meeting of the Joshua Basin Water District, the four sitting board members will discuss and likely decide whether the seat left by the death of Mickey Luckman will be filled by appointment or in a special election.
And in response to Curt Sauer’s impending retirement, the board is expected to move Assistant General Manager of Operations, Mark Ban, into the position of Interim General Manager. Also tonight, directors will set the appropriation limit for 2018-19, and adopt the Emergency Response and Local Hazard Mitigation plans. Those items and others will follow public comments. Committee, staff and director’s reports come later. Tonight’s meeting takes place at district offices on Chollita Road in Joshua Tree.
