DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Due to the specific nature of the appointment and the procedural guidelines governing alternate positions on regional advisory committees, a Notice of Vacancy was not posted by the Clerk's Office. This decision aligns with established practices for filling primary roles when a resignation occurs mid-term and the appointing authority has a designated successor.
On March 16, 2026, the Clerk's Office received an official recommendation from the Director of the Environmental Management to appoint Cara Layne as the Primary Representative for the El Dorado Hills Community Services District on the El Dorado Solid Waste Advisory Committee. This recommendation followed the resignation of the previous appointee, who formally vacated the position earlier this month.
Cara Layne's appointment ensures continued representation for the El Dorado Hills Community Services District on matters related to regional solid waste planning and policy. Her background in environmental management and familiarity with local sustainability initiatives make her a strong candidate to support the committee’s mission and contribute to its ongoing work.
