Southern California Edison introduces new San Dimas representative; council issues proclamation and community members announce events and memorials
Summary
SCE’s local public‑affairs representative Marissa Castro Salvati announced she is relinquishing San Dimas to Daphne Segala Morphin; the council presented a proclamation honoring Marissa. The meeting also included public comments about a memorial for longtime teacher Ed Wolf, a restaurant owner promoting a downtown venue, library program notices and a historical‑society walking tour.
Marissa Castro Salvati, Southern California Edison’s local public‑affairs representative, told the San Dimas City Council on Feb. 10 that she will hand responsibility for San Dimas to colleague Daphne Segala Morphin after about a decade serving the city. Marissa said she will remain in the San Gabriel Valley and will mentor her successor; Daphne introduced herself to the council and said she brings experience in federal, state and local government and looks forward to working with city staff and council members.
The council presented Marissa with a proclamation recognizing her dedication to the San Dimas community. Mayor Emmett G. Badar and multiple council members offered personal thanks and best wishes for her future work.
Public comments and community notices during the meeting included:
- Robert Olander announced a memorial service for Ed Wolf, a longtime San Dimas teacher, to be held Feb. 23 at All Saints Church at 1403 West Covina Boulevard in San Dimas.
- Anthony Carrano, owner of Vincenzo’s at the Walker House, described the restaurant’s downtown events and encouraged more local patronage.
- Alejandro, manager at the San Dimas Library, outlined upcoming programming (yarn and stitch sessions) and pointed listeners to LA County Library digital services (Libby and temporary New York Times access).
- Margie Green of the San Dimas Historical Society invited residents to a Valentine’s Day walking tour and free museum visits at the Walker House.
Why it matters: Personnel changes at a regional utility affect the city’s point of contact for outage communications, public‑affairs coordination and community outreach. At the same meeting, community members used public comment to notify the council about local services, memorials and events that affect neighborhood life.
What’s next: The council and city staff will maintain contact with SCE’s incoming representative and continue public‑affairs coordination; community groups were encouraged to share event details with city staff for broader outreach.
