Santa Clarita City Council members appointed a new Parks, Recreation and Community Services commissioner Tuesday, officials said.

Victor Lindenheim, executive director of the Golden State Gateway Coalition, was named to the vacancy created by a recent resignation. Kevin Korenthal held the position before resigning to move out of state.

The nominees were: Jodi Cilluffo, Jason Warren Gibbs, Rachelle Jackson, Peter Warda, Patrick Comey, Alex Guerrero, Dr. Ana I. Dwork, Victor Lindenheim and James A. McCarthy.

Lindenheim works primarily as an advocate for the Golden State Gateway Coalition, a non-profit transportation education and advocacy organization based in Santa Clarita.

“Our members include community, business and government leaders who live in, work in and represent the interests of the fastest growing sub-region in Los Angeles County,” according to the organization’s website.

Most recently, the organization was part of the lobbying and advocacy effort to help secure more funding locally for Measure M projects, the Metro sales tax measure voters approved in November.
