Vacancy on Mosquito & Vector Control Board

Supervisors seek West Marin representative for Marin/Sonoma trustees

San Rafael, CA – The Marin/Sonoma Mosquito & Vector Control Board (MSMVCB) has a vacancy for a trustee from West Marin, and the Marin County Board of Supervisors is eager to appoint a qualified candidate to fill the seat. The application deadline is 5 p.m. Dec. 27.

The Mosquito & Vector Control District is responsible for the prevention, elimination or control of mosquitoes and other arthropods known to be potential carriers of infectious diseases, or presenting a public nuisance, for Marin and Sonoma counties.
