DISCUSSION The City Council represents the City’s interests in regional issues by serving on a number of regional boards/agencies which make public policy decisions in the areas of transportation, water resources, fire services, and government facilities. At its meeting of December 20, 2022, the City Council made appointments to several regional boards. At that time, the Santa Ana River Flood Protection Agency (SARFPA) was inadvertently left off the list of appointments. Therefore, appointment of a representative and alternate are needed. The SARFPA bylaws require the representative to be a member of the City Council but the alternate position can be filled by staff, if desired. On December 20, 2022, the City Council appointed Councilmember Vazquez to serve as the City’s representative to the Southern California Association of Governments
