What’s in it
AI summary County supervisors can now add more people to their local conservation boards, up to a maximum of nine members. They also have the power to change how long each member serves so that not too many people's terms end at the same time.1
Read the official explanation
Prior to 1989, a county conservation board was created pursuant to a referendum (Code section 350.2). In 1989, remaining county boards of supervisors were required to create county conservation boards (Code section 350.11). A member of a county conservation board serves a term of five years. All members are appointed by the county’s board of supervisors. This bill provides that a county board of supervisors may increase the number of members appointed to a county conservation board to not more than nine members. The bill also authorizes the county board of supervisors to increase or decrease the length of terms of members in order to ensure that not more than two terms expire at the same time.
