	Board Member Elections The Smoky Hill Metropolitan District Board consists of 5 members.  Elections are held, as needed, in May of each election year.  Positions come open every two years, but the elected terms are for four years.  In 2008 two positions were open and in 2010 three positions will be open.  This alternates every two years with this two/three method and helps to ensure an experienced board.  Ideally, board members are elected by the registered electors whom reside in the district.  If, after the initial four-year term, a board member is re-elected or wins a seat by default, he/she may serve an additional four years.  If a vacancy is filled by appointment, the appointee serves a 2-year term.  A board member is term-limited after 2 consecutive four-year terms and cannot run again for another four years beyond the ending of his/her second term.  Officers are elected by the members of the board at the June meeting.  A stipend of $100 is paid to each board member for every meeting attended with the understanding that additional "volunteer" time may be required outside of the meeting if the board member's area of responsibility warrants it.  If an election is triggered (more candidates exist than open positions) qualified candidates are required to follow all campaign laws of the City of Centennial, the County of Arapahoe, and the State of Colorado and must be an elector, and a resident or property owner in the District (Smoky Hill 400).  In the event no qualified candidates have submitted a "self-nomination" form by the February 28th deadline, or the number of qualified candidates doesn't exceed the number of open positions, no election will be held and the open positions will be filled by appointment by the remaining board members.  Thank you for your interest in this excellent opportunity to serve your community!!
