Vince Sarmiento from Santa Ana who holds the District 1 population seat for representation on the OCTA Board of Directors is both termed out and districted out. The population seat is appointed by a weighted vote of the Cities of Cypress, Fountain Valley,Garden Grove, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos,Seal Beach and Westminster. This is an open seat, and Huntington Beach is by far the largest City in the district by more than 50,000 residents. Huntington Beach should be the representative of this seat. Having served more than a decade on OCTA's Citizens Advisory Committee, Councilmember Dan Kalmick has the background and qualifications to hit the ground running as a Board Member, as well as the knowledge and relationships to adequately represent Huntington Beach and the west side of the County on the Board. Councilmember Kalmick submitted his application by the November 17 deadline,and I would like to ask the City Council to request the Mayor or her designee to support his candidacy through all rounds of voting for the election to the OCTA board at City Selection on December 1. RECOMMENDED ACTION I request that the Mayor or her designee vote for Councilmember Kalmick at City Selection Committee for Orange County Transit Authority District 1 Population Seat through multiple rounds. 781
