I am writing to you today as the President of the Board of Trustees of the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District. The District Board of Trustees is comprised of thirty-five members, one from each of Orange County's 34 cities and one representing the county at Targe.
Councilman Craig Green currently serves as the Secretary of the Board of Trustees and is in-line to be the District's next Vice President in 2023. In my opinion, Craig has been an outstanding member of the District's Board of Trustees since he was first appointed to serve in 2017. He has served in a number of leadership capacities, including Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee, as well as the Joint Committee that is exploring potential relocation efforts for our District facilities.
While Craig may be transitioning off of his role as a member of the Placentia City Council, his service to the public can continue as a member of the District's Board of Trustees. The California Health and Safety Code that governs the duties and responsibilities of vector control agencies in California permits and encourages members -at -large to sit on a Board of Trustees. Cities have the discretion of appointing a member of the city council, or a member of the public that resides within the appointing agency's jurisdiction. The city also has the distinction of determining the length of the term, either for two or four years.
Currently, the District's Board of Trustees is comprised of twenty-nine sitting council members and six at -large members.
I'd like to ask you to support Craig Green's reappointment to the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District Board of Trustees for the next two -or four-year period. In my opinion, Craig's past work and institutional knowledge will be a loss to the District if not reappointed.
Regardless of who the city selects to serve on the Board of Trustees, I look forward to working collaboratively on the many issues currently before the Orange County Vector Control District Board of Trustees.
Regards,
James Gomez, President
