SUBJECT:
Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees Appointment Subcommittee — Appointment Recommendation RECOMMENDATION:
Appoint Tolifili Fa to the Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees for a two-year term through October 7, 2026.
BACKGROUND:
In November 2023, Ed Degliantoni, the City's appointee to the Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees, formally submitted his resignation. Following his departure, the City Clerk’s Office has undertaken efforts to recruit a replacement. While the office typically requires a minimum of three applications before initiating the interview process, the extended vacancy prompted a decision to proceed with interviews despite receiving only two applications.
Historically, this position has not attracted a large pool of candidates. For example, in 2006, Dr. James W. Ridgeway was appointed as the sole applicant and subsequently served two full terms. Similarly, in 2015, Ed Degliantoni was the only applicant to interview for the role.
On Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the Appointment Subcommittee to the Mosquito & Vector Control District Board, consisting of Mayor Lisa Diaz Nash and Deputy Mayor Rob Newsom, Jr conducted an interview with Tolifili Fa to fill the vacancy on the Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees. The Clerk’s Office received two applications for the vacancy, however, only one applicant moved forward with an interview.
The Appointment Subcommittee recommends the following actions:
