Our district is governed by a 5-member board of directors, three of whom are appointed by the Vallejo City Council, the remaining two appointed to serve by the Solano County Board of Supervisors. Board members serve 4 year terms. District residents interested in serving on our board can click the links above to learn more about each agency's process for making appointments. GVRD's Board of Directors set district policy and priorities, 

The Brown Act was a landmark piece of California legislation when it passed in 1953, declaring in its first two lines:

It was written, and has been amended several times, to promote openness and transparency in the entire decision-making process of the boards, councils, commissions, and committees that administer local government agencies by governing members' communication outside of public, agendized, and noticed meetings, and to guarantee the public's right to access those meetings. All regular and committee meetings of GVRD's Board of Directors comply with the Brown Act. 

The public may address the board in several ways:

US Mail addressed as below will be copied and distributed to board members
GVRD, ATTN: Board of Directors
395 Amador St
Vallejo, CA 94590

You can email the board either as a whole using BoardOfDirectors@gvrd.org or individually using each member's personal GVRD Board email address, found on their profiles below.

 At regular and committee meetings of the board, any member of the public may address the board on any item on the agenda for that meeting when it comes up for consideration. Each agenda also includes an item for public comment. If you wish to speak on a topic not on the agenda but within the purview of the board, or within the narrowed scope of a specific committee, this public comment agenda item is where you'll have your chance. The Brown Act does allow the board to place reasonable limits on the amount of time allotted each individual as well as the total amount of time set aside for comments. In general, an effort is made to hear from each citizen wanting to speak, limits on the total amount of time have so far been rare.
