SUBJECT:APPOINTMENT OF LLOYD JOHNSON AS REPRESENTATIVE TO
EXTERNAL ADVISORY BOARD - SAN GABRIEL VALLEY MOSQUITO &
VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Council confirm the Mayor’s appointment to the San Gabriel Valley
Mosquito & Vector Control District.
BACKGROUND:
The City of West Covina is a member of a number of organizations dedicated to serving the interests
of local government in this region, in the State of California, and in the nation. Additionally, the
City is a member of a number of joint powers agencies and other entities, which require an
appointment of a member to their governing bodies. Attachment No. 1 includes a description of
these committees and any stipends associated with serving on the committees. Participation in these
activities is significantly important to the City, in that the policies and decisions of these bodies may
directly affect the interest of the City. Stipends, meeting times, and meeting locations are subject to
change by the individual agencies.
According to Section 5-b of the City Council Standing Rules, appointments of City Council
Members to these organizations are based upon selection by the Mayor, whose selections are subject
to confirmation by the City Council as a whole.
“It shall be the prerogative of the Mayor, taking into consideration relative length of Council
service, individual Councilmember preference and equivalency, to assign individual Council
Members to various committees.”
Per California State Law, Fair Political Practice Commission (FPPC) Form 806 is on file with the
City Clerk's Office designating Councilmembers that will receive a stipend from these appointments.
DISCUSSION:
Mayor Lloyd Johnson announced his appointments to the various external advisory boards and the
item was approved by the City Council at the February 5, 2019 City Council Meeting. A summary
of the various Mayoral appointments is attached (Attachment No. 2). Former Mayor Mike Spence
held the seat on the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Board representing the
City of West Covina, and with his passing a replacement must be named.
The vacancy on the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Board was properly
noticed by the City Clerk's Office and two members of the public expressed interest in serving as the
City of West Covina's representative, in addition to Mayor Lloyd Johnson. The Mayor has chosen
himself to serve as the City's representative and will finish out the remainder of the term for the San
Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District, which expires January 2020.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Confirm the Mayor's appointment to the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control
District; or
2. Provide alternative direction.
