Staff Report: Robert Saviskas, Executive Director Recommended Action: Approve

From Robert Saviskas: I had planned to retire three (3) years ago when the new construction at 6720 Centinela Ave. was scheduled to be completed. However, I stayed on for another three (3) years to complete the project and get the District’s final certificate of occupancy in late 2019.

I am 72 years old and I have spent the last 50 years of my working life in public health service (30 years as the Executive Director of the District, 15 years with the LA County Health Department, and another 5 years with Abbott laboratories), but it is time now for me to plan my retirement and the transition of leadership to another.

Action: By policy, the Board established a Personnel Sub-Committee to pick a successor for the present Executive Director. The Trustee Personnel Sub-Committee job is to review, meet and interview all qualified District employee applicants and then make a final recommendation to the Board at the March 2020 meeting for a full Board vote. The successor to Robert Saviskas as the Executive Director will take effect on the date of the present Executive Director’s retirement. It is anticipated that it will take 8-12 months for the present Executive Director to train and acclimate the new successor before turning over the responsibilities and title. It is the District’s policy to promote from within.

As per policy, the Personnel Sub-Committee consists of the present Board President plus the last five (5) Presidents. Following this policy, the members of the Personnel Sub-Committee are Jay Garacochea (2020), Olivia Valentine (2019), James Osborne (2018), Elizabeth Sala (2017), John Frazee (2016), & Jim Gazaley (2015).

March 2020 Monthly Report Public Education

PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM

BACKGROUND An essential program of the District includes educating the public about the life cycle of honeybees, mosquitoes, ticks, vector-borne diseases, property owners’ responsibilities, and functions of the District. General public education is accomplished through the means of informational brochures, fact sheets, city bulletins, public speaking engagements, public service announcements, informational booths at community events, and the District web site (www.lawestvector.org).

Media and service group packets and videos describing the services of the District, backyard mosquito breeding, Africanized honeybee preparedness, Lyme disease awareness and other vector-borne diseases have been widely distributed in addition to thousands of informational pamphlets. Public service announcement tapes are routinely distributed to local cable stations and written public service announcements are distributed to local radio stations.

District staff has implemented an education program in the public and private elementary schools through a cooperative effort with the teachers. The programs offered cover aspects of honey bee, tick and mosquito biology with an emphasis toward public health and safety. The District provides each class with student and teacher workbooks, brochures, bookmarks, videos, and visual aids. District staff trains the teachers and encourages them to include the program as part of their yearly science curriculum.

The District staff has indoctrinated the residents of the District to coexist with the Africanized honeybees by utilizing the various elements of the Public Education Program. The District has been the lead agency in training and coordinating fire departments, police departments, and 911 systems throughout the District in preparation for Africanized honeybee emergencies.

SCHEDULING OF EVENTS

Please contact the District to schedule an event or if you are aware of an organization that may benefit from receiving the latest information regarding the West Nile virus, Africanized honeybees, Lyme disease, or other vector-borne diseases.
