DISCUSSION:
On June 2, 2015, the City Council adopted an ordinance, which amended sections of the West Covina
Municipal Code related to the appointment, removal, vacancies, and terms of City Commissioners. The new
ordinance was effective on July 2, 2015.
The new ordinance restructured the process of appointing City Commissioners. Specifically, the ordinance
allows for the appointment of City Commissioners by individual appointment by each Councilmember, rather
than by majority vote of the City Council. In addition, the ordinance established the term of office for each
commissioner to be consistent with the term of office of the appointing Councilmember. The following
