The City of Rosemead greatly supports the reappointment of Council Member Margaret Clark to
the Energy and Environment Committee.
Council Member Clark brings extensive institutional knowledge, built through years of service on
environmental committees at the national, regional, and local levels. She has long been an active
member of the National League of Cities' Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources (EENR)
Committee. Closer to home, she has served on SCAG's Energy and Environment Committee and
its Regional Council, The League of California Cities Environmental Quality Committee, as well
as the San Gabriel Council of Governments Energy, Environmental and Natural Resources
Committee and she continues to contribute locally through her work on the Los Angeles County
Solid Waste Task Force, addressing important trash and recycling issues.
Her leadership is backed by a proven record of results. In 1993, she helped establish the San
Gabriel Basin Water Quality Authority, which plays a critical role in protecting and cleaning the
groundwater our valley relies on for drinking water. In 1999, she helped create the San Gabriel
and Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy, which provides vital funding for
parks and open space throughout the region. She continues to serve on its board today.
For these reasons, the City of Rosemead respectfully supports her reappointment so she can
continue advancing environmental priorities and effectively representing her constituents.
Sincerely
Mayor
City of Rosemead
