Fire Board of Directors

The Lathrop Manteca Fire District's Fire Board of Directors is comprised of five (5) members of the community that are voted in to office by the voters within the fire district boundaries. Board members are certified by the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters after the election results are tabulated, and typically are elected to serve four (4) year terms. At times a candidate may run for elected office unopposed. In these cases the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters certifies the eligible candidate for office and declares that an election runoff may not be needed. In rare times of vacancies due to a board member resignation or death, the fire board may choose an option to fill the open seat on the fire board. Sitting Fire Board members are called Directors. The five of them collectively take action to set policy, give guidance, and elect a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson. The "Chair" or "Vice Chair" as they are sometimes referred to, are responsible to run the meeting in accordance with the Fire Boards ordinances, resolutions, and polices. The present elected members of the Lathrop Manteca Fire Board of Directors are:
