ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ANDREW C. LAZZARETTO, CITY MANAGE
DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2006
SUBJECT: MOSQUITO & VECTOR CONTROL BOARD APPOINTMENT
SUMMARY
Earlier this year, the City Council took action to reappoint Bob Bruesch as Rosemead's
representative to the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District (SGVMVCD)
Board of Trustees for a one year term ending in March of 2007.
Recently, staff received correspondence from the SGVMVCD (Attachment A) clarifying the
state code governing the appointment of trustees to the district board. These rules stipulate
that any appointment has to be for either a two-year or a four-year period, and must begin
on January 1 sc (or for the balance of a term for a vacated office).
Based on this statute, the City Council has been asked to clarify Mr. Bruesch's term of
appointment, which will technically have an effective start date of January 1, 2006.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council appoint Bob Bruesch to a four-year term as the
City's representative on the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of
Trustees, effective as of January 1, 2006.
ANALYSIS
Should the City Council move to appoint Mr. Brusch to a four-year term, he will serve as the
City's representative to the SGVMVCD board until January 1, 2010.

Covina Dear Andy:
Duarte I trust all goes well in your new position. We received an August 9, 2006
El Monte letter (copy attached) regarding the reappointment of Bob Bruesch as the
representative for the City of Rosemead to the San Gabriel Valley
Glendora Mosquito and Vector Control District Board of Trustees. The term of the
appointment is stated to be one year ending March of 2007.

/m,indale Although in almost all City Council appointments there are flexible terms
and substitutions, this is not the case in the Health and Safety Code which
La Puente governs this District. Statutes clearly state that any appointment is for a
two or four year period beginning on January 1 st or for the balance of the
La Verne term of a vacated office. A copy of that provision is attached for your
Monrovia review.
Monterey Park We respectfully request that the City Council clarify Bob Bruesch's term of
office to either a two or four year appointment. In any case, the effective
Pomona "start" date would be January 1, 2006.
