DISCUSSION
The Mayor and City Council represent the City's interest in regional issues by serving on a
number of regional boards which make public policy decisions in the areas of transportation,
water resources, fire services, and government facilities.
The Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) is a wastewater treatment facility that serves
Orange County, California. It consists of two operating plants, referred to as Plant No. 1 located
in Fountain Valley and Plant No. 2 located in Huntington Beach. It is the third largest wastewater
treatment facility west of the Mississippi River. OCSD and the Orange County Water District
were awarded the Stockholm Industry Water Award in 2008 for pioneering work to develop with
Trojan Technologies the Groundwater Replenishment System, the world's largest water
purification plant for groundwater recharge. A board member and alternate are appointed by the
majority of the City Council.
On December 18, 2018, the City Council nominated Councilmember Reyna as the City's primary
representative and Councilmember Iglesias as the alternate. On March 1, 2019, Councilmember
Reyna tendered his resignation. Councilmember Iglesias has been attending the board meetings
as an alternate and has expressed an interest in serving as the primary representative, if
approved by a majority of the City Council. Thus, a primary and alternate appointment
representative is requested to continue serving the interest of the residents of our community.
Representatives must be an elected member and shall serve until removed or resign. The Board
meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
