Silicon Valley water leaders want longer term limits

Directors of a Santa Clara County water district want to extend their term limits, even as some members cast doubts about the cost and necessity.

Valley Water’s board of directors voted 4-3 last month to put a measure on the June primary election ballot asking voters to approve an extension of how long directors can serve on the board. If approved, board members would be able to serve a maximum of four, four-year terms instead of the current three.
