The
MPRPD Board of Directors 2008 The District is governed by a five member elected Board of Directors. Terms of office are four years. The five Board members are not elected at-large but represent distinct areas, or wards. Ward 1 includes the City of Marina and some unincorporated voting wards within the District areas of the former
Fort Ord that are within the
city's influence and will likely be annexed by the City. Ward 3 is Del Rey Oaks and Monterey (excluding what is called New Monterey). Ward 4 is New Monterey, Pacific Grove and the northern half of Pebble Beach. Ward 5, the largest geographic ward, includes the southern portion of Pebble Beach, all of Carmel and the unincorporated areas of Carmel Valley, Cachagua, Carmel Highlands and Big Sur. Every ten years the District, like many other governing bodies, is required to redraw its ward boundaries to reflect population changes, as needed. |
