Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District: trustees

The law reduces the board from eight members to five, adds two public trustees, and changes how Vallejo and Solano County are represented. It also subjects public-member appointments to local appointment-list and vacancy rules.

What the law does ​

• Creates a five-member board with two Vallejo City Council trustees, one Solano County supervisor trustee, and two at-large public trustees.
• Requires the Solano County trustee to live in the district and its alternate to represent a supervisorial district containing district territory.
• Requires public trustees to live in the district and not serve on the Vallejo City Council or Solano County Board of Supervisors.
• Sets the first public-trustee terms through December 31, 2027 and December 31, 2029, followed by four-year terms.
• Pays every trustee or alternate $100 per eligible meeting, capped at three meetings or $300 monthly, plus actual and necessary expenses.
• Requires annual election of a president, vice president, and secretary, with no extra officer pay.

Who it affects ​

• Vallejo City Council members appointed to the district board.
• Solano County Board of Supervisors members appointed to the district board.
• District residents eligible for at-large public-trustee appointments.
• Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District ratepayers and service recipients.

Context ​

The district must hold public meetings under the Ralph M. Brown Act, and any state-mandated local costs may be reimbursed if approved by the Commission on State Mandates.
