PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to request the Council make an appointment to fill one unexpired term for Burbank's representative to the Greater Los Angeles Vector Control District Board of Trustees ending January 1, 2007.

BACKGROUND

On September 20, 2005, the City Clerk's Office began advertising and accepting applications for the above vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Adam Rocke due to relocation from the City. Notice was sent to the newspapers and placed on the City�s website and the Channel 6 Scroll in order to obtain qualified candidates.  As of the November 30, 2005 deadline, the City Clerk�s Office received two applications from Kristy Laird and Harvey Paskow. 

The Greater Los Angeles Vector Control District provides vector (insect) control services throughout its service area which includes 34 cities and certain portions of the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County.  Member cities cover a large geographic area stretching from Long Beach to Santa Clarita.  Trustees are required to attend monthly meetings every first Thursday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the District�s headquarters in Santa Fe Springs, California and are paid $100 for each meeting they attend in lieu of expenses.

It should be noted that all Board, Commission and Committee members serve without compensation from the City and no person shall serve on more than one Board, Commission, or Committee (established by the Burbank Municipal Code) at the same time. In addition, any person appointed to be a member of a Board, Commission or Committee must be an elector of, and actually reside in, the City of Burbank.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Council consider the applications submitted and make one appointment to fill the unexpired term for Burbank's representative to the Greater Los Angeles Vector Control District Board of Trustees ending January 1, 2007.

Respectfully submitted,

Margarita Campos, CMC

City Clerk
