RE: AB 1234 Ethics Training Time - LA County West Vector Control District Board
Elizabeth,
Thank you for taking the training again; it is quite informative.
We can certainly bring an item to Council in October to consider another 2 -year term for you. It is nice to know that it is
Your turn to be president of the board, representing the City.
We will place an item on the October Tentative Agendas for the Council to make that decision.
Thank you,
Carla

Hi Carla,
Thanks for the heads up. As always, you are super efficient! This class is actually quite informative, so taking it again is
not so bad.
Regarding my term, I am glad you asked. I am supposed to be president next year ( just a round robin kind of thing), yet
since my term is going to be up, I wasn't sure how to go about it. I would be open to another two year term, if it pleases
the Mayor.

If possible, it would be nice to know if I can continue on the Board by November, the last meeting prior to the change of
officers, so I could inform the Vector Board if my status does change. What do you think?
Thanks, as always, for your help. I will send you the proof of my course completion prior to the deadline.
Take care,
Elizabeth

Hello Elizabeth,
I hope you are well; it was nice seeing you at the recent Council meeting to give an
update from the West Vector Control Board.
It is that wonderful time again O to take a refresher AB 1234 Ethics Training course.
As the LA County West Vector Control District Board you are required to complete the
AB1234 Ethics Training once in the first year of your first term, and then once every two
years thereafter. Our records show that you took the course last on August 10, 2014;
therefore, you would be due to take the training again by August 10, 2016.
The online FPPC training is free and accessible at the following
link: DIV ://localethics jL) ca.c c /t.. in. Lis ?x. The required training is two hours long;
therefore, I encourage you not to rush through the training as it is timed. If you
complete it before the two hour timeline you are required to obtain additional training (a
couple of people have had to seek additional training.)
Once you have completed the training, please send me your Proof of Participation
certificate and you will be in compliance for another two years!
Your term on the West Vector Control Board ends on 12/31/16. Perhaps it is a bit early
to ask, but would you be interested in continuing to represent the City of RPV? You
don't need to decide now, but we generally bring a staff report forward for the second
meeting in December, so please let me and Teri (copied on this email) know sometime
in November.
As always, thank you for your service,
Carla
