Board reviews proposed bylaws to add internet voting and extend candidate filing window
Summary
Directors reviewed attorney-recommended bylaw edits to authorize internet voting alongside mail-in ballots for the 06/18/2026 annual meeting and to change candidate filing windows (moving some deadlines from 60 days to 90 days). The changes will be finalized by counsel and appear on the ballot.
The board discussed proposed amendments to the district bylaws—Article 5 (sections 1 and 2) and Article 7 (section 1)—that would formally add internet voting as an option alongside mail-in ballots and adjust candidate filing timelines for future elections. The Chair said the changes were recommended by the attorney and the company that will administer voting and that final wording will be prepared by counsel before being placed on the ballot for the annual meeting.
During public comment a resident sought clarity on effective dates and filing windows; a board member clarified the current year's filing window is 04/18 to 05/18 and that the proposed change would move next year's window earlier (roughly 03/18 to 04/18). "So that is, section 1. Basically, just putting in the Internet," the Chair stated when summarizing the amendment's effect. The item was treated as discussion-only at this meeting and will be voted on at the annual meeting.
