Council updates committee appointments, names Martis to corridor committee and DeSaima to vector control
Summary
Council approved several committee appointment changes, including appointing Council Member Martis to the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee and appointing Council Member John DeSaima to the county vector-control board following a resignation.
The City Council approved changes to its external committee appointments, filling seats that were vacant after a resignation and reassigning membership for regional committees.
Council recorded a resignation from Marilyn Sanabria to the county vector-control board and moved to fill the vacancy. Council Member Martis was appointed to represent Huntington Park on the Southeast Gateway Line Corridor Cities Committee after a motion and vote. Council then nominated and approved Council Member John DeSaima to the county vector-control board; council members confirmed availability for meetings, which staff said are typically scheduled for the second Thursday of the month at 7 p.m.
Why it matters: These committees involve regional coordination on transit corridors and vector control; council representatives serve as the city’s liaisons to external agencies and carry information back to the council.
Process notes: The city clerk circulated an updated list of committees by email in advance and staff summarized the changes at the dais. Council approved the appointments by roll call: Council Member Macias — yes; Council Member Martinez — yes; Council Member Sanabria — yes; Mayor Flores — yes.
Next steps: Staff will update committee rosters and notify the respective agencies of the city’s representatives.
