The Ventura Local Agency Formation Commission elected Janice Parvin as chair for 2026 and named public member Jean Talmadge vice chair during its meeting on Jan. 21.
Commissioner Janice Parvin was nominated from the floor and seconded; the commission approved the nomination by voice vote. Shortly after, a motion was made and seconded to appoint public member Jean Talmadge as vice chair, consistent with the commission’s bylaws that specify the chair should be a county member and the vice chair a public member. That motion also carried.
The reorganizational votes were taken near the start of the meeting as commissioners completed roll call and reviewed the agenda. No roll-call tallies were read aloud in the transcript; commissioners voiced their approval when the chair called for ayes.
The commission moved on to agenda review and other business after the leadership elections; chair and vice chair designations will guide commission procedures and presiding duties for the 2026 calendar year.
