Administrator’s Minute
Dear Orange County Community,
As the leaves begin to turn and the air takes on that familiar autumn crispness, I’m reminded that this season represents both reflection and renewal — two qualities that truly define Orange County. The pages of this month’s Insight highlight what makes our community so special: generosity, collaboration, and pride in a job well done. I’m especially proud that Orange County has once again been recognized by the Government Finance Officers Association with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award — our eighth consecutive year receiving this honor. This recognition underscores the dedication of our budget team and our commitment to presenting a budget that is transparent, responsible, and meaningful to the citizens we serve. Fall brings with it the spirit of giving, and our Department of Social Services’ Holiday Assistance Programs remind us that small acts of kindness can make a big difference for local families. This season also offers many ways to serve and stay connected. The Healthy Community Action Team (HCAT) recently launched its StoryWalk® at Veteran’s Park—a creative program that blends reading, movement, and fun for families. In addition, the Board of Equalization is seeking residents eager to make a difference. As you enjoy this beautiful fall weather, I hope you’ll take part in one of the many local events or programs featured in this issue. From the opening of Mountain Track Park to the upcoming Booooster Park Fall Festival, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate the season and the spirit of Orange County.
Warm regards,
Glenda Paul Orange County Administrator
