Re: Reappointment of Jim Tashiro - Jan. 2, 2023 - Jan. 2, 2027 Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is to inform the City Council that the term of office currently held by District Trustee Jim Tashiro will expire on January 2, 2023. Mr. Tashiro has actively and faithfully represented the residents of the City of Salinas on the Board of Trustees of the Monterey County Mosquito Abatement District since 2009, with nearly a 100 percent record of attendance.
The qualifications for your representative on the Board of Trustees are stated in Section 2022 of the California Health and Safety Code as follows:
B. Each person appointed by a city council to be a member of a board of trustees shall be a voter in that city and a resident of that portion of the city that is within the district.
C. Notwithstanding any other provision of law including the common law doctrine that precludes the simultaneous holding of incompatible offices, a member of a city council may be appointed and may serve as a member of a board of trustees if that person also meets the other applicable qualifications of this chapter.
D. It is the intent of the Legislature that persons appointed to boards of trustees have experience, training, and education in fields that will assist in the governance of the districts.
E. All trustees shall exercise their independent judgment on behalf of the interests of the residents, property owners, and the public as a whole in furthering the purposes and intent of this chapter. The trustees shall represent the interests of the public as a whole and not solely the interests of the board of supervisors or the city council that appointed them.
The California State Health & Safety Code requires our reappointments to be based on the calendar year, January 2nd, and service for an initial full 2-year term, thereafter qualifying for a 4-year term.
Pursuant to Section 2245 (c) of the California State Health and Safety code, the M.C.M.A.D.
Board of Trustees respectfully requests that the City of Salinas Council renew his appointment to serve the residents of the City of Salinas for a four-year term for which he is eligible, from January 2d 2023 to January 2. 2027.
