The new facility is to house production, cold storage, a laboratory and office space, said Ypma. It is forecast to becapable of producing more than 100 million units of baby food each year.

Sanger Youth Council is back
City council will consider statewide ballot measures
By Dick Sheppard
Sanger Herald
Sanger hasn't had a "Youth Council" for several years. But with city council approv- al ofsixyoungapplicants,a newly formed council could be soon up and running.
That's the hope of rec- reation supervisor Joaquin Zamora, who is trying to resurrect a working and advisory youth group that folded in 2012.
The city council, at its 6 p.m. meeting today in city hall, will consider staff recommendations to support a couple of statewide ballot measures and oppose one other.
The council will be asked to support Proposition 1,
the Veterans and Afford- able Housing Bond Act, and Proposition 3, the state water bond. It will be asked to oppose Proposition 6, elimi-
nating a tax on gasoline for "Transportation Funding."
Other items on the agenda include a funding application for money from the Fresno Council of Governments that, if received, would fund walk- ing and bicycle paths, and a request to approve spending more than $33,000 for addi- tional repairs to a water well.
