| Supervisor Spitzer Appointed as Alternate Member on CalOptima Board |
|
The Orange County Grand Jury recommended that the Board of Directors of CalOptima include more than one County Supervisor. Supervisor Spitzer was appointed to serve as that alternate Board of Supervisors member on June 18. Supervisor Janet Nguyen currently serves as the Board of Supervisors member for CalOptima.
Before accepting the appointment, Supervisor Spitzer highlighted recommendations for strengthening the continuity and transparency of CalOptima affairs presented before the Board.
“We need a documented and written report from CalOptima on a monthly basis when items are presented before us,” Spitzer said. “We need to formalize a process.”
CalOptima is a county organized health system that is funded by state and federal government, operated independently by appointment of a Board of Directors.
CalOptima is proud to be considered a national model for county health care (Grand Jury Report). |

| Understanding LAFCO’s Role in Unincorporated Woodgate Park |
|
The Board of Supervisors adopted the resolution to approve the proposed levy for park maintenance services at Woodgate Park on Tuesday, June 18. In light of this adoption, Supervisor Spitzer called for the LAFCO review process in this area.
The purpose of LAFCO is to study the provision of services to the land in question. LAFCO does not necessarily direct issues on land use. In fact, there have been cities that have annexed land to preserve open spaces.
In this situation, the role of LAFCO is to assess what best services are available for park maintenance of this parcel with the aim of bringing this unincorporated parcel under Yorba Linda.
“I’d like to start the LAFCO process again so that residents can decide how to best manage this park and make it a part of the city’s municipal services,” Spitzer said. |
