Administrator’s Minute
Dear Orange County Community,
This month also brings opportunities to enjoy the season together. Events like Gingerbread & Lights Delight are a great reminder that local government is not only about services and infrastructure—it’s also about building community and creating moments that bring people together. As you head into the holidays, I encourage everyone to take care of yourselves and one another. Winter weather can change quickly, so please plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and check on neighbors who may need a hand. And if you’re working through the season— responding to emergencies, keeping facilities running, answering phones, maintaining roads, or supporting essential services—please know your efforts are seen and appreciated. From my family to yours, thank you for all you do for Orange County. I wish you a safe, restful, and joyful holiday season, and I look forward to continuing our work together in 2026.
As we close out 2025, I want to take a moment to thank our employees, volunteers, and community partners for another year of service that makes Orange County a great place to live, work, and visit. December is always a busy month—full of deadlines, celebrations, and a renewed focus on helping neighbors—and I continue to be proud of the professionalism and care our team brings to the work every day. You will see that spirit reflected throughout this issue of Orange County Insight. Please join me in recognizing Chairman Johnson for his leadership and steady commitment to the community. I also hope you’ll support our “Deck the Paws” effort to help fill pets’ stockings this season. It’s a simple, practical way to make a meaningful difference for animals in our care—and for the families who welcome them home.
Warm regards,
Glenda Paul Orange County Administrator
