Summary
The council presented Officer Anna Amaya with the 2025 officer‑of‑the‑year award and welcomed Alejandro Duarte as the council’s appointee to the planning commission; Duarte said he works at the Imperial Irrigation District and has degrees in irrigation science and organizational management.
The Imperial City Council recognized Officer Anna Amaya as the police department’s 2025 Officer of the Year. Police leadership praised Amaya’s performance and community commendations; Amaya thanked colleagues and family and said the award motivates her to continue serving with integrity.
Later in the meeting Councilmember Robert Barano introduced Alejandro Duarte as his appointee to the city’s planning commission. Duarte described his history in the area, his employment at the Imperial Irrigation District and his qualifications, including a bachelor’s degree in irrigation science and a master’s in organizational management. He accepted the appointment and was welcomed by council.
Both items were ceremonial: the officer recognition and the planning‑commission appointment drew applause and brief remarks but required no further council action beyond the appointments and recognition on the record.
