MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Area Town Hall this week is scheduled to host the two candidates running for the District 1 seat on the Board of Supervisors and will elect two members to its own board.
MATH will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Middletown Community Center, 21256 Washington St.
Meetings are open to the community, and offer the opportunity for additional public input on items not included on the agenda.
At 7:30 p.m., the group will meet the candidates for District 1 supervisor. Julia Bono is challenging first-term incumbent Moke Simon. Both will be allowed to speak for up to 10 minutes, with 10 additional minutes for questions and answers.
At 8:10 p.m., the four qualified candidates for the MATH Board will then address the assembly. Each will be allowed to speak up to five minutes.
The candidates for this year’s seats include incumbent Claude Brown, along with Rosemary Cordova, Lisa Kaplan and David Thurber.
The qualification and nomination of candidates had dominated the January meeting, at which time it had originally been expected that an election would take place. But due to a variety of concerns, including public noticing and questions about process, the election was put over to this month.
At 8:30 p.m., the group is expected to elect its two new board members. The election process will include two current board members and two volunteers to oversee the voting box, secret ballots that will be accepted in the voting box by the sign-in sheets, a tally of secret ballot votes, the announcement of the new board members and alternates, and completion of the county’s required applications for all board members and alternates.
The election of the new MATH Board members will take effect on Friday, Feb. 14.
The MATH Board currently includes Chair Sally Peterson, Vice Chair Claude Brown, Secretary Paul Baker, and at-large members Tom Darms and Marlene Elder.
MATH – established by resolution of the Lake County Board of Supervisors on Dec. 12, 2006 – is a municipal advisory council serving the residents of Anderson Springs, Cobb, Coyote Valley (including Hidden Valley Lake), Long Valley and Middletown.
Meetings are subject to videotaping.
