BACKGROUND:
On March 15 at 5:30 p.m. the City Council conducted interviews to fill the vacancies on the
Planning Commission, Community Services Commission and Audit Commission.
Following the initial vote and two additional runoff votes, Craig Shimomura, Richard Hilde
and Kim Leason were appointed Audit Commissioners by majority vote. Recent revisions to
the Tustin City Code state that "The Audit Commission shall consist of five (5) members,
each of whom shall be both residents and registered voters of the City during all times they
hold office, subject to the following exception. Up to two (2) members may reside and be
registered voters within the area served by the Tustin Water Department, but outside the
City." With the reappointment of Richard Hilde on a prior ballot, two members resided and
were registered voters within this area (Lawrence R. Friend as the other Audit
Commissioner) and the third member was required to be a resident and voter in Tustin. At
the time of the selection, Kim Leason did not reside in Tustin and did not meet the
qualifications for appointment once Mr. Hilde was reappointed.
At its June 7, 2011 meeting, the City Council directed staff to schedule interviews for the
vacant Audit Commissioner position for July 19, 2011 at 4:30 p.m.
