General Counsel Gagen stated that since the Board had taken action to
appoint Yorba Linda Council Member Hernandez to the YLWD Board of
Directors, he desired to get in contact with the City's Attorney to discuss
whether this circumstance created an incompatibility of offices.
Director Barbre commented on the doctrine of incompatible offices and
stated that it was his understanding that Council Member Hernandez was
planning to resign from his office on the Yorba Linda City Council.
The Board commended and thanked all the candidates for their participation
in the interview process and their willingness to serve the District's constituents.
