Candidates sought for Yuba Community College Board seat representing Lake County
The Yuba Community College District’s boundaries include Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Lake, Placer, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties.
It has a nine-member board, two of them being student representatives.
Lake County is served by the Area 7 seat, which also includes parts of Colusa and Glenn counties.
Steve Wylie, interim executive dean for Woodland Community College’s Lake and Colusa County campuses, said Richard Savarese, who currently represents Area 7, is not running for reelection in November.
Wylie said that to serve as the trustee, the candidate must live within the Area 7 boundaries.
The two remote sites of Woodland Community College in Lake County and Colusa County are both represented by the Area 7 trustee, Wylie said.
“This trustee must be devoted to maintaining the educational opportunities at both of the centers. Because the Lake County Campus is the largest of the two remote sites, we have always believed that the Area 7 trustee should live in Lake County,” he said.
The board seat will be elected by voters this fall. Wylie said the candidate must register with the election office of the county where they live to be placed on the ballot.
Wylie said board members receive a monthly stipend plus mileage reimbursement for travel, as well as health care benefits including dental and vision.
More information about the district board, its responsibilities and policies, and administrative procedures, see the district’s website.
For individuals interested in filing to run for the seat, contact the Lake County Registrar of Voters Office for information on deadlines and filing requirements.
