Beginning in November 2022, Goleta Sanitary District Board members will be elected based on voting districts, each representing a portion within the District’s boundaries.  Draft voting district maps have been created and are available for viewing on the District’s website, https://goletasanitary.org/new-election-process. Three public hearings on the proposed district maps and proposed election sequence for each voting district are scheduled. The board members will serve staggered terms of four years each, which will be determined at the final hearing. All hearings will be held in the Boardroom at the District, at 1 William Moffett Place, Goleta.  Spanish translation will be available at all meetings.

The public is invited to participate in the process at all hearings:

• Saturday, March 5 at 3:00 p.m.
• Monday, March 21 at 6:30 p.m.
• Monday, April 4, 2022 at 6:30 p.m.

The final adoption of the resolution is scheduled to take place during the Monday, April 4, 2022 hearing at 6:30 p.m.

“We encourage members of the public to share their opinion in this important civic exercise.” said Steve Wagner, Goleta Sanitary District’s General Manager.

“The new voting districts will be a change from the historic process and we hope will spur more community engagement.” said Steve Majoewsky, President of the Goleta Sanitary District Board.
