Local News in Brief : South County : Detwiler Will Speak at Forum on Cityhood
Peter M. Detwiler, the principal staff consultant to the state Senate’s Committee on Local Government, will be the featured speaker at a forum tonight on the Dana Point cityhood measure on the June 7 ballot.
Measure B would join the unincorporated communities of Dana Point, Capistrano Beach and coastal Laguna Niguel into one city called Dana Point.

Before 1982, Detwiler was the legislative coordinator for former Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr.’s Office of Planning and Research. He also served on the San Diego Local Agency Formation Commission from 1972 to 1975.
Tonight’s cityhood election forum will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Richard H. Dana Elementary School, 24242 La Cresta Drive, Dana Point. For more information, call (714) 496-1911.
