On January 10, 2023, the City Council approved former Council Member Craig S. Green to serve a two-year term for the OCVCD Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is comprised of 35 members, one from each of Orange County's 34 cities and one representing the County at large. The stipend for serving on the OCVCD Board of Trustees is $100 per month. Mr.

OCVCD submitted an official correspondence (Attachment 1) on October 7, 2024 to request that Mr. Green be reappointed, or a successor, be appointed to the Board of trustees. As 466

The City Council has the discretion of determining the length of the terms, either for two (2) or four (4) years.
