Orange County Insight July 2026

Administrator’s Minute

As we move through another busy summer, I continue to be amazed by what our Orange County team accomplishes each day. This edition of the Insight highlights just a few examples of the dedication, innovation, and compassion that make our community such a special place. This month, we celebrate national recognition for three Orange County programs with NACo Achievement Awards, along with a fifth consecutive Digital Counties Survey Award. These honors reflect more than successful projects - they represent employees who look for better ways to serve our residents and work collaboratively across departments to solve real challenges. You'll also find important reminders about conserving water during our ongoing drought, staying safe in the summer heat, preparing for the new school year, and opportunities to support neighbors through community programs and events. Whether it's helping families access resources, recognizing outstanding public servants, or promoting healthy and safe communities, these stories reflect Orange County's commitment to serving today while preparing for tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to read the Insight. I hope you enjoy learning more about the many programs, projects, and people featured in this issue. As always, thank you for being part of what makes Orange County such an exceptional place to live, work, and serve. I wish you and your family a safe, enjoyable, and memorable remainder of the summer.

Warm regards, Glenda Paul Orange County Administrator
