The filing period for the Nov. 4   election opened Monday and will last until Aug. 8, with a five-day extension   granted if an incumbent doesn’t file.

Seats for four of the five   Calaveras County Water District directorships are up for election.

CCWD Directors Don Stump and Scott   Ratterman have already filed, while former Calaveras County supervisor Paul   Stein has filed for the post held by Director Bob Dean. Both Dean and   Director Dennis Dooley have said they don’t plan to seek reelection.

The Angels Camp City Council has   two seats — held by Jack Lynch and Scott Kelly — up for election.

Lynch said he remains undecided if   he will run again. Meanwhile, Kelly — appointed to the council earlier this   year — said he has pulled nomination paperwork, but hasn’t “completely   decided yet” if he will run.

In Tuolumne County, positions are   available on 12 school districts, five fire protection districts, three   community services districts and two sanitary districts along with the   Yosemite Community College District, Tuolumne Park and Recreation District   and three seats on the Tuolumne Utilities District.

A handful of potential candidates   have started the process to run for office as well, mostly for school   districts thus far. Those who have pulled paperwork include Gary Cook with   Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified School District, Cathy Stone-Carlson at   Jamestown School District, Kathy Francis at Sonora Elementary, Daniel Parks   of Curtis Creek School District and Ronda Bailey at Twain Harte-Long Barn   Union School District.

Columbia Fire Protection District   also generated some interest, as Stan Steiner and Matthew Foust have pulled   papers as of Wednesday.

Other seats up for election in   Calaveras County include several school districts, community services   districts, fire protection districts, public utility districts, sanitary   districts and veterans memorial districts.

In addition to CCWD, George Fry   and Peter Oliver have filed for the Mark Twain Health Care District, Charles   Moore is a candidate for the Calaveras Public Utility District and Clyde   Weddle has filed for the San Andreas Park and Recreation District.

Districts will only go on   November’s ballot if more candidates file than the number of seats that are   open. That won’t be determined until the end of the filing period next   month.
