MODERATE

This bill amends the Emergency Services Districts Act to allow boards of trustees to expand from 5 members to 7 members. It establishes specific procedures for appointing or electing the additional members, including term lengths and transition rules. The bill also provides a mechanism for districts to vote on reducing the board back to 5 members if desired.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of the Emergency Services Districts Act by adding provisions for 7-member boards, whereas previously only 5-member boards were addressed.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new section allowing emergency services districts to adopt an ordinance establishing a 7-member board of trustees.

Created a petition process requiring signatures from at least 5% of electors to submit a proposition to the voters on increasing the board size from 5 to 7 members.

Added provisions allowing a 7-member board to revert to a 5-member board via ordinance or a voter proposition initiated by a 5% petition.

TIMELINE

Established a 60-day timeline for appointing authorities to appoint two additional trustees when a 7-member board is adopted by an appointed board.
