SUMMARY OF THE MATTER
During the January 30, 2026, Strategic Planning Session, the City Council reviewed the listing of various organizations, committees, and subcommittees where the City Council is represented, and during the process, the City Council suggested appointing a resident to the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District Board of Trustees. To qualify, the representative must be over 18 years old and a resident of Laguna Beach. The position has most recently been held by a Councilmember; however, it has previously been held by a Laguna Beach resident.

The OC Vector Control Board of Trustees meets at 3:00 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month at the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District headquarters at 13001 Garden Grove Blvd., Garden Grove, CA 92843.
