. (a) Each person appointed by a board of supervisors to be a
member of a board of trustees shall be a voter in that county and a
resident of that portion of the county that is within the district.
(b) Each person appointed by a city council to be a member of a
board of trustees shall be a voter in that city and a resident of
that portion of the city that is within the district.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law including the
common law doctrine that precludes the simultaneous holding of
incompatible offices, a member of a city council may be appointed and
may serve as a member of a board of trustees if that person also
meets the other applicable qualifications of this chapter.
(d) It is the intent of the Legislature that persons appointed to
boards of trustees have experience, training, and education in fields
that will assist in the governance of the districts.
(e) All trustees shall exercise their independent judgment on
behalf of the interests of the residents, property owners, and the
public as a whole in furthering the purposes and intent of this

the city council that appointed them.
