Trinity Center CSD Board Vacancies
There will be a Special Meeting of the TCCSD board on December 10 to select and submit CSD board member appointments
to the county Board of Supervisors. This special meeting will be held at the IOOF Hall at 6:30p.
There is an unusual number of CSD board seats up for election this year. Due to the timing of regularly expiring terms, and past
board appointments, four seats were scheduled for election. Only two incumbents applied for office, and therefore, according to state
regulations, no election was held. The two returning incumbents, Mike McHugh and Drew Rusnak, were appointed by the Board of
Supervisors to fill two of the openings.
The remaining two seats will be filled by selecting from applicants to the CSD board.
Here is the notice of the two openings and the list of
qualifications. At the December 10 meeting, the CSD board will select two candidates to submit to the Board of Supervisors for
appointment.
