Most, including chairperson Johnny Perez, are relatively new in their roles as planning com- missioners.
All seemed to welcome the training they received on Sept. 27 on roles of planning commis- sioners, land use 101 and the
Brown Act.
"You have important jobs,"
said city attorney Hilda Cantu Montoy, who with assistant city attorney Shannon Chaffin, con- ducted the training session.
"It's important that you know how to do those jobs," said Mon- toy.
"You serve as a standing
advisory body to assist the city council on planning and develop- ment matters," said Montoy.
She reminded the commis- sioners that all their decisions need to be consistent with the city's general plan, zoning ordi- nances and other city policies.
Montoy pointed out that while the commission can in many
cases make decisions on zoning matters, the city council retains the final authority.
The council will, in fact, be hearing an appeal of one of the commission's decisions on Oct. 8 at 6 p.m.

Dick Sheppard/Sanger Herald
Planning commissioners listened, took notes, watched a PowerPoint presentation and asked questions during a Sept. 27 training session. L-R, Vincent Wall, Mia Geil, Kevin Carter, Johnny Perez, Drew Esquer, Monica Yamada and Ken Garcia. Sanger's senior planner David Brletic is seated at the table in front of the commissioners.
AUDIT: Changes were recommended by an ad hoc committee composed of two oversight members and the administrative services director. Continued from page 1A
followed and the desired results a "Compli- ance Examination with Attestation Opinion," instead of a "Compliance Audit."
That will make sure an opinion about the way the money was spent is in "adherence to the City of Sanger's ordinance and policies,"
said Watahira.
The approved changes were recom-
mended by an ad hoc committee of Measure S Citizens Oversight Committee members Melissa Griggs and Miser and Watahira.
The recommendations included:
Ralph Alvarez
The holy rosary will be recited for Mr. Ralph Alvarez
of Sanger at 7 p.m. on Oct. 4 at the new St. Mary's Catholic Church in Sanger and a funeral mass will be celebrated for
• changing the specification from a com- pliance audit to a compliance examination including an attestation opinion;
• an entrance and an exit conference with the firm awarded the contract to make sure the objectives of the examination have been
Obituary
clarified; and,
• the years of the examination will cover
fiscal year 2012 through fiscal year 2018.
