HOLLISTER
Supervisor-elect Margie Barrios said she expects to make a decision on her appointment for planning commissioner at her first meeting with the board Jan. 6.
Each supervisor appoints a planning commissioner to the five-member board. The current commissioner, as chosen by Supervisor Don Marcus, is Mark Tognazzini.
“I probably would rather make that announcement at my first board meeting,” Barrios said.
Other commissioners include Dan DeVries, Gordon Machado, Richard Bettencourt and Robbie Scattini.
