BACKGROUND:
The City of Diamond Bar has three standing Commissions: the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commission, and the Traffic and Transportation Commission. The Commissions serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council. Each Council Member is authorized to appoint one individual per Commission to serve a twoyear term, subject to confirmation by a majority vote of the Council.
Council Member Tye appointed Isaic Ramirez to the Parks and Recreation Commission on February 15, 2022 to a term expiring February 2024. In March 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 01 (2023) extending the term of office to February 2025, and two-years thereafter, to better coincide with the General Municipal election cycle. Unfortunately due to excessive absences this seat was deemed vacated immediately as of September 29, 2023, in accordance with Diamond Bar Municipal Code Section 2.32.040(d).
Council Member Tye has selected Brian Worthington, from the eligibility list that was created in January of this year, to be appointed as the next Parks and Recreation Commissioner.
