Planning Commissioner to be Appointed
 |
| Word on the street is
that Planning Commissioner Kirk
Monfort will be reappointed to Chico's Planning
Commission. His status as a commissioner was derailed when he had to resign
over an odd state law. The law prevents city officials from purchasing
property within an RDA zone where they may benefit from improvements being
made. Primary residences are exempted. Once Monfort can secure his new property as a primary residence the law will no longer apply and he may be reappointed. Monfort is a CSU Chico professor and had been on the Planning Commission for ~17 years. He's shown in this photo discussing how much fun he's had with his time off from the Planning Commission. He went tubing on Labor Day, set up a really fun Fantasy Football league with some other ex city officials, and has been teaching himself Ukrainian. The young people in the photo are all Ukrainian exchange students who have come to America to learn about RDA bonds and mitigation banks. Of course I'm kidding, this photo is just a staged PR photo from the Internet. |
