The board of directors voted unanimously to approve Resolution 2627 ordering the district's 2026 general director election and requesting consolidation with the Nov. 3, 2026 statewide general election.
The resolution was introduced during the meeting and explained as a corrective step after county staff omitted the district from the elections-code requirement list this year. A board member said the county apologized and the board needed to approve the resolution to ensure director positions appear on the ballot.
A director moved to approve the resolution and another seconded the motion. The board then conducted a roll-call vote: Director Carmichael voted yes; Dr. Hobart voted yes; Dr. Brandt voted yes; Dr. Dler voted yes; and Dr. Sector voted yes. With all members voting in the affirmative, the motion carried and Resolution 2627 was approved.
Board members thanked staff members Jonathan, Sydney and Jamie for catching the omission; one member noted the county "did admit it's an error out there," and colleagues called the catch "significant" and "refreshing." The chair opened the meeting with a land acknowledgement recognizing the Chumash people as the traditional custodians of the land.
The chair announced the next regular meeting will be held Aug. 11, 2026 at 6 p.m., both on Zoom and at the community room at 970 Barbadero Delmare in Isla Vista, California. The board then adjourned.
