Imperial Valley Healthcare District: voting districts.
- Establishes seven voting districts within the Imperial Valley Healthcare District for electing board members.
- Allows initially appointed board members to run for elected positions in their voting districts.
- Requires board candidates to live in their voting district for at least 30 days before the election.
- Mandates implementation of new voting districts by July 1, 2024.
Senator Padilla's proposal to restructure the Imperial Valley Healthcare District's governance model would modify how board members transition from appointed to elected positions, creating seven distinct voting districts within Imperial County. The legislation removes the current prohibition that prevents initial appointed board members from seeking elected positions in their districts.
The bill establishes specific criteria for creating the voting districts, requiring the board to collaborate with the Imperial County Local Agency Formation Commission and consider demographic and geographic factors in drawing boundaries. Each of the seven districts would elect one board member, with candidates required to maintain 30-day residency within their respective districts before election. The board must hold public hearings on proposed district boundaries, though it retains final authority over district formation.
Under the new framework, all voting districts must be established by July 1, 2024, with elections commencing after January 1, 2024. The legislation also outlines procedures for filling board vacancies, requiring appointees to reside within the unrepresented district. These changes apply to the entire Imperial Valley Healthcare District, which encompasses all of Imperial County.
