Recommendation: Receive and File
SUMMARY
The City Council reorganized at the May 19, 2026, City Council Meeting, following the
resignation of former Mayor Eileen Wang on May 11, 2026. Council Member Paul P.
Cheng was appointed as Mayor. Upon rotation of the City Council, the Mayor makes

Mayor Cheng has updated the Council Member Liaison List, assigning Council
Members as Delegates or Alternates to eight City Boards and Commissions and 11
outside governmental agencies. It is recommended that the City Council receive and
file the Mayor’s appointments of City Council Members to City boards, commissions,
and outside agencies, effective June 3, 2026.
DISCUSSION
On May 11, 2026, Eileen Wang resigned from the City Council, creating a vacancy in
the Mayoral position. Consistent with the established mayoral rotation for Council
Members, and to fill the vacancy created, at its May 19, 2026, meeting, the City
Council appointed Paul P. Cheng as Mayor and David Fu as Mayor Pro Tem.
Following the City Council reorganization, the Mayor has the option to make new
appointments to City Boards and Commissions, and to outside agencies.

The attached Council Member Liaison List reflects the various Arcadia Boards and

City Council Member to serve as either the Delegate or Alternate (when applicable)
for eight City Boards and Commissions and 11 outside governmental agencies,
beginning on June 3, 2026.
The appointments will continue until superseded, which may occur after the
appointment process to fill the District 3 vacancy concludes, or after the next City
Council reorganization occurs, expected in December 2026 when the next election
will be certified. It is recommended that the City Council receive and file the Mayor’s
appointments of City Council Members to City Boards and Commissions as well as to
outside agencies, beginning June 3, 2026.
