The Crescenta valley Water District Board of Directors will hold a special meeting Tuesday night to interview eight residents vying to fill the vacancy on the Crescenta Valley Water District Board of Directors.
The vacancy is left by former director Richard Atwater, who resigned after the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office ruled that his simultaneous seat on the Foothill Metropolitan Water District board represented a potential conflict of interest.
The pool of candidates is two more than the six-member field in the last election to fill three seats. A ninth applicant pulled out of contention.
The interviews will be held at a public meeting Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the district offices, located at 2700 Foothill Blvd. in La Crescenta. The remaining four board members are expected to make their appointment following the interviews.
The appointee would hold the position until the next district general election, which is scheduled for Nov. 8, 2011.
