Yesterday, we shared a video welcoming 2 of our newly elected and re-elected OCDD Board Members, Dal Moreau III and Matthew LaPray during their swearing-in ceremonies.

We also want to recognize Brent Peveto, who was re-elected as Director-at-Large and officially sworn in as well. Mr. Peveto was unable to attend the meeting in person and participated via Zoom.

We are grateful for his continued service and commitment to Orange County and the residents we serve.

Please join us in congratulating Director Peveto on his re-election! 👏
