Coastal Commission Nominees Endorsed
Agreeing with the County Board of Supervisors, Ventura County’s mayors have nominated the same three candidates to fill a vacant slot on the state Coastal Commission.
Moorpark Mayor Paul Lawrason, Ventura Councilwoman Rosa Lee Measures and Port Hueneme Mayor Toni Young were endorsed for area representative by the mayors selection committee.
On Jan. 17, the supervisors endorsed the three candidates who are vying for the seat that former Port Hueneme Councilman Dorill Wright has held on the 12-member commission for 16 years.
Along with the Ventura County candidates, the Board of Supervisors and the mayors’ selection committee from Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties will submit three names each for the position.
The governor will consider the nominees and select one to sit on the commission, which oversees proposals for coastal development.
