Sonora, CA – Tackling the issues of fire safety and homelessness has been made a top priority by the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors, and this week they took action.
Appreciative of the number of highly qualified candidates vying for seats on the two committees at Tuesday’s meeting, the supervisors made their final picks. A task Board Chair and District 2 Supervisor Ryan Campbell shared was not easy while noting his criteria, “I’m looking for somebody that works well with others in a group setting. Speaking from a bit of experience, it can be difficult when you have a multiple of different opinions and trying to boil that down into one idea that you can then take and make action on.”
Below are the members selected for each advisory board as provided by county staff:
