BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On January 7, 2020, the City Council took action to commence a process to fill the
vacant City Council seat resulting from the recent resignation of former Council Member
Carol Herrera. It was determined that the City Council would appoint a Diamond Bar
resident to fill the remainder of the unexpired term through the November 2020 General
Municipal Election. The appointed Council Member would likely serve through the first
City Council meeting in December when the election results are typically certified.
A total of 10 applications were received by the submittal deadline of 5:30 pm, Monday,
January 20, 2020. City Clerk Kristina Santana has verified th at each of the applicants
has met the minimum qualifications to be considered for the appointment. She has also
communicated with the candidates to establish the interview schedule which is included
in Attachment 1. Their submitted application materials (included in Attachment 2) are
organized by applicant in interview-order. One applicant withdrew their application
before the posting of the agenda. Applicant John Forbing is currently out of the country
and thus unable to attend the interview, however his application has been included as
the last application for Council’s consideration.

Packet Pg. 4
Following the interviews, the City Council may choose to appoint an individual to fill the
vacancy. The new Council Member must be selected by a majority vote of the City
Council. If the City Council is able to make a decision on an appointment, that
individual may be administered the Oath of Off ice following such decision, making the
appointment effective immediately. Alternatively, the Oath of Office may be
administered at the beginning of the February 4, 2020 City Council meeting, making the
appointment effective at that time.
Should the City Council not be able to select an individual from the applicants
interviewed, the Council may choose any additional process it deems appropriate to
consider and select a new member. The City Council has until February 18, 2020 to
make such appointment.
