Recently, the La Palma City Council voted unanimously to appoint Kathy Flachmeier to the unfulfilled term of Steve Hwangbo, who resigned in 2017. Hwangbo's term runs through December 4, 2018 – the time frame that now applies to Flachmeier.
In order to find a replacement for Hwangbo, the City Clerk's Office, following directions from the City Council, coordinated a short period of time during which four applicants were found: Flachmeier, and Dr. Garrett Wada, Martha Lomeli, and Emanuel Aparicio. A special meeting of the council was held earlier at which all four were interviewed; members of the public were invited to attend and Flachmeier was selected.
Flachmeier, who recently retired, has been a resident of La Palma since 1987. She attended California State University in Long Beach, which awarded her both a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Public Administration. She worked in construction for 18 years before she went to work for her old university, where she was a project manager, an assistant construction manager, and finally a project engineer.
She will take the oath at a regular meeting of the City Council on January 16, 2018. The public is invited to attend both the swearing-in ceremony, and a short reception that follows.
