The Vallecitos Water District Board of Directors selected a longtime San Marcos resident to fill its vacant Division 5 board seat Sept. 17.
Tanis Brown, a resident of Lake San Marcos, will represent parts of San Marcos and portions of the Lake San Marcos community, and will assist in setting district water and sewer direction through December 2026. She can seek reelection for the remainder of the term during the November 2026 general election.
Brown is a 50-year resident of San Marcos. She has been an active resident, homeowner, student, employee, parent, grandparent and volunteer, working with many sectors across the community. She is familiar with Special Districts, having served as a trustee for the North County Cemetery District.
She has a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies with a minor in English from California State University San Marcos, and she has worked as a preschool teacher, early childhood education director, grant writer, special projects coordinator for CSUSM, in addition to being an employee training and development coordinator.
Brown is joined by directors Jim Pennock, Division 1; Jim Hernandez, Division 2; Craig Elitharp, Division 3; and Jennifer Kerschbaum, Division 4, to make up the five-member Vallecitos Water District Board.
The Board typically meets at 5 p.m. the first and third Wednesday of each month at the district’s Administration, Maintenance, and Operations facility located at 201 Vallecitos de Oro in San Marcos.
