REPORT OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Director Paul Kermoyan added the following comment to his written report:
• Informed the Commissioners about two upcoming training opportunities. The
League of California, Cities Planning Academy in March in Long
Beach and the National American Planning Association Conference in April in San
Francisco. Staff is costing these events and will determine how many
Commissioners can be registered to attend their preferred event. It is felt by staff
that the San Francisco event might be more affordable given the close proximity of
the venue and ability to avoid the costlier expenses of air travel and hotel
accommodations.
