The details
Incumbent and current board President Anne Halsey and Juan Miguel Arredondo, who has previous experience on the board, were the lone applicants for the at-large positions.
“There are two at-large trustee positions open this spring, and only two people filed for them. Thus, alleviating the need for a May election this cycle, so we're canceling that and saving the attending taxpayer dollars,” Halsey said.
Mari Salmi, the second current at-large trustee, will be leaving the board at the end of her term. Halsey and Arredondo’s three-year terms for the at-large trustee positions will begin in May.
The background
The board originally approved the election during their Jan. 16 board meeting and accepted applications for the positions until Feb. 16.
