CAMARILLO : Council Appoints 42 to Goals Panel
The Camarillo City Council appointed 42 people Wednesday to the long-awaited citizens Community Goals Committee after expanding the panel to include more women and minorities.
The council delayed the appointments last month because several council members were not satisfied with the original composition. Councilmen Ken Gose and Michael Morgan had winnowed the original list of nominees from 152 to 29. But only six were women.
The committee appointed Wednesday includes 16 women.
The committee was established to set long-range planning goals for Camarillo. The city appoints a similar task force every five years or so to update the goals.
Members will look at such issues as the city’s ordinance that controls residential development, greenbelt agreements between city and county officials, and the planning and subdivision rules for dealing with the General Plan.
Tony Boden, community development and planning director, said he hopes to receive recommendations from the committee by the end of April. The committee’s first meeting is scheduled March 19.
