I don’t think you can run until 6 years after the district was created. For the first six years, it appears that the developer controls the entire board.

The Board of Supervisors is currently comprised of five landowner seats, which means all five supervisors were elected by landowner votes (one vote per acre or part thereof). After six years of existence, and 250 registered voters residing in the District, the seats will transition in staggered terms to qualified seats. Once the transition begins, eventually all supervisors will be elected by ‘qualified electors’ (registered voters) residing in the District. They are elected on a non-partisan basis on the general election ballot.
