On August 26^(th) at 11:30am, the North County/San Fernando Valley sector will have a meeting to select their candidate for the vacant LA Metro Board of Director seat. Once selected, it will go to a full vote on the LA County City Selection Committee (where all cities within LA County votes).

Previously the Sector for North County/SFV selected John Gibs (Santa Clarita Councilmember), only to not get approved when the full LA County City Selection Committee voted. Now the Sector is meeting again to decide who will be their candidate. There were other candidates running in the previous Sector meeting: Dan Brotman (Glendale City Councilmember), and Eric Ohlsen (Palmdale Mayor). It remains to be seen if the same or different candidates will be running for the seat. Please note that both the North County/SFV Sector & LA County City Selection Committee votes are based on city weighted-population votes (and not raw number of cities vote). Picture for North County/SFV weighted votes posted above.
