TO: HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE AZUSA UTILITY
BOARD
FROM: MANNY ROBLEDO, DIRECTOR OF UTILITIES
DATE: APRIL 26, 2021
SUBJECT: ELECTION OF UTILITY BOARD OFFICERS
BACKGROUND:
Following selection of the Mayor Pro-Tem of the City Council, the Utility Board must elect a
Chairperson, a Vice Chairperson and a Secretary to serve a term of one year.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following action:
1) Elect by majority vote Jesse Avila, Jr. as Chairperson and Andrew N. Mendez as Vice
Chairperson to serve as officers of the Utility Board; and
2) Affirm that the City Clerk will serve as Secretary.
ANALYSIS:
The Utility Board was formed in May 2001 pursuant to Ordinance 01-03, which was later
amended by Ordinance 01-07. The Utility Board is appointed by and is presently composed of
City Council Members acting as Utility Board Members. The Director of Utilities serves as
executive advisor to the Board. The Utility Board meets monthly on the fourth Monday of each
month at Azusa Light & Water conference room to conduct business related to the City’s electric
and water utilities.
Section 2-415 of the Azusa Municipal Code requires the Utility Board to elect a Chairperson,
Vice Chairperson and a Secretary annually no later than the second meeting following
appointment of the Mayor Pro-Tem by the City Council. Since a new Mayor Pro-Tem was
selected on March 15, 2021, the Utility Board must elect by majority vote a new Chairperson and
Vice Chairperson. The functions of Secretary are historically delegated to the City Clerk.
