As of the end of this year, JPA WMO's will no <br />longer be able to have joint power members staff serve as board members. <br />However, elected officials and citizen; will remain eligible to be JPA WMO board <br />members. <br /> <br />We encourage you and your board members to start working promptly on filling <br />any vacancies that will result from this legislative change. Also, this may be a <br />good time to review the constituency 9f your advisory committees. Consideration <br />may be given to having joint power members staff serve on advisory committees. <br /> <br />If you have questions or should you have difficulty finding nominees for board <br />member vacancies, please contact your Board Conservationist for assistance.
