Orange County Insight October 2026

Administrator’s Minute

There is plenty to celebrate this season, too! From our Parks & Recreation fall festivities to the many activities offered by our libraries and community partners, there are wonderful opportunities to get out, have some fun, and enjoy all that Orange County has to offer. Finally, I want to thank our dedicated County employees for the work they do every day to serve our community. Our recent JUICE Employee Appreciation event was a great reminder that, while our responsibilities and challenges may change, our commitment to service and to one another remains strong.

We’re here for you... Orange County Administration Speaking of new services, FiberLync continues to make great strides in connecting our community. In addition to ongoing network improvements and expanded broadband access, the team is preparing to launch LyncTV, a new television service expected to be available in late November. With several channel packages and local programming options, this is another exciting step in FiberLync's efforts to meet the evolving needs of our residents. October is one of my favorite times of year in Orange County. The changing leaves, cooler temperatures, and busy calendar of community activities remind us of what makes this such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family. This month's Insight highlights several ways we are working to strengthen connections with our residents. Our Parks & Recreation Department and Office on Youth are both seeking community input through surveys that will help shape future programs and services. I encourage you to take a few minutes to share your thoughts. Your feedback is important as we plan for the future and work to make the best use of our resources. I'm also excited about the upcoming delivery of our first Orange County Resident Guide! This new publication is designed to help residents better understand and access the many services, programs, and resources available through County government. Whether you've lived here for decades or just recently made Orange County your home, we hope you'll find it useful.

I hope you enjoy this month's edition of Insight, and I wish everyone a safe and beautiful fall season!

Warm regards, Glenda Paul Orange County Administrator
