The Hawaiian Gardens City Council on Feb. 12 appointed Rosie Gomez to the Public Safety Commission to fill an unexpired term ending in March 2026.
A staff report said the vacancy resulted from the resignation of former commissioner Francis Rodriguez and that Mayor De Pala recommended the appointment of Rosie Gomez to serve the remainder of the term. "I just want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve," Gomez told the council after introducing herself and noting previous volunteer work in local schools and nonprofits.
