Conclusions 1
-
CL1 Page 6To clarify matters, the BOS ought to pass a resolution forming a BOD and hold an election or cease meeting and acting in the name of the BOD. A BOD elected by NBRID residents would be more responsive to their needs. The four supervisors who do not represent the District have no political obligation to consider the interests of NBRID residents when in conflict with the interests of their own supervisorial constituents. 10
