When a vacancy occurs following a completed term, the board will solicit applications for the vacancy from the community as well as considering appointment from the alternate list. The Whatcom County flood control zone district board of supervisors shall advertise a vacancy and include an application deadline of 4:00 p.m. on thc day of 10 a.m. on Tuesday of the week prior to the regularly scheduled council meeting at which nominations and possible vote to appoint are scheduled to occur.
