RANCHO MURIETA, CA (MPG) - Director Steve Booth has announced that he will run for a seat on the Rancho Murieta Community Services District (CSD) Board of Directors, according to a July 17 news release.
Booth was appointed to the board in December 2022 and is currently finishing the final two years of the four-year term vacated by the previous incumbent. The board election will be held as part of the Nov. 5 general election.
The other director position with an opening is currently held by Martin Pohll. As of deadline for this story, he declined to say whether he will seek re-election.
Candidates for the two openings on the board have until Aug. 9 to file their paperwork with the Sacramento County Office of Voter Registration and Elections.
Booth retired from full-time work in labor relations and human resources in November 2021.
He works part-time as an independent arbitrator adjudicating management-labor disputes throughout Central and Northern California.
He is also the current chairman of the Sacramento County Civil Service Commission.
Booth explained his decision to seek election.
“I want to continue to be the ‘Voice of the Community’ on the CSD Board. CSD and the community at large face crucial financial, infrastructure and water supply challenges,” Booth said.
“The community deserves a representative who will demand consistency, accountability and transparency as well as act in the best interests of the community.”
