Based on Chapter 2.107.010 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code, the Board shall consist of not

Wentworth to the HRB for terms to expire July 1, 2021. Those reappointments resulted in the current
roster of six HRB members and one vacancy below mandate. The proposed appointments of Amory
Hanson and Mark Zambrano would bring the roster of active HRB members from six to eight.
