.030 Election of advisory board.
.0301 Elections. The initial Advisory Board shall be elected by the property owners in the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District at a property owners' meeting held within the time and manner provided in subsection .060 of this section. Thereafter, the Advisory Board members shall be elected for all seats then coming vacant at an annual meeting of all property owners as described in subsection .060 of this section.
.0302 Qualifications. In order to serve on the Advisory Board, an individual must be nominated by the owner of an assessable lot or parcel within the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District at the Initial Meeting or the Annual Meeting at which the election will be held. Both the nominating property owner (or such owner's duly authorized representative) and the nominee of that property owner must be present at the Initial Meeting or the Annual Meeting at which the election is held in order for the candidate to be eligible for election to the Advisory Board. Each owner of an assessable lot or parcel within the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District may nominate up to one candidate for each seat then coming vacant on the Advisory Board.
.0303 Cumulative Voting. Each owner of an assessable lot or parcel within the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District shall have a total number of votes in the Advisory Board election equal to the number of Advisory Board seats then up for election multiplied by the amount of such owner's assessment (including any zone assessment). Each owner of an assessable lot or parcel within the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District may vote for a number of Advisory Board candidates up to, but not in excess of, the number of seats then open for election on the Advisory Board. Each owner may allocate his total number of votes at his discretion, including, if so desired by an owner, allocating all of his votes to one candidate even if multiple seats on the Advisory Board are then open for election. A representative of the owner of an assessable lot or parcel within the Anaheim Resort Maintenance District must be present at the Initial Meeting or the Annual Meeting in order for that owner to be eligible to vote in the Advisory Board election held at that meeting. The candidate receiving the largest number of votes shall be considered elected to the first open seat on the Advisory Board; the candidate receiving the second largest number of votes shall be considered elected to the second open seat on the Advisory Board, and so on, until all open seats are filled. With respect to the seven members of the Advisory Board first appointed, the four candidates receiving the most votes shall be elected for four-year terms and the three candidates receiving the next highest number of votes shall be elected to two-year terms. Ties in voting shall be settled by the casting of lots.
