The Coastside Fire Protection District Board of Directors is composed of five publicly elected or appointed representatives. Board members serve 4-year terms.
Background and Discussion
Pursuant to Elections Code section 10509, the Fire Protection District must formally call for an election and deliver notice to the County Elections Official no less than 125 days prior to each election at which the Fire Protection District will elect members to the Board of Directors. As the current terms for President Burke, Director Hanna, and Director Sherrill are set to expire at the end of 2026, the Fire Protection District shall elect three members to four-year terms to begin upon the expiration of those terms at the November 3, 2026 Election. The attached Resolution calls for the election and will provide the required notice to the County Elections Official upon its delivery by the Deputy Chief.
The November 3, 2026 Election will be the third election at which the Fire Protection District will elect members to the Board of Directors through the by-district form of elections. Registered voters from Districts C, D, and E, as identified on the District Boundary Map adopted by the Board in 2022, shall elect members from their respective districts during this election cycle.
Voters from Districts A and B last elected members from their respective districts to four-year terms in 2024 and shall next vote at the 2028 election.
