NCAC Area 2 vote set for April 5
Voters who reside in the North Coast Advisory Council’s Area 2 are to cast ballots Tuesday, April 5, for a full representative for their neighborhoods.
Area 2 covers the Moonstone Beach and Happy Hill areas north to San Simeon, a community that’s part of Area 1.
Candidates include: Alternate council member Marty Main, business representative Mike McLaughlin, business alternate John Nixon, Bob Sfarzo (who participates in the land-use and traffic committees) and Brendan Bailey.
New Area 8 rep
At the council’s March 16 meeting, Dixie Walker was appointed as the new alternate representative for the North Coast Advisory Council’s Area 8. That post had been vacant since November when Clive Finchamp was removed from the council because of a lack of attendance.
Walker won the appointment over fellow applicant Paul Carlson.
Walker could be bumped up to full representative status at the April meeting, when current rep Tony Church will leave the council. Other members also are to consider Carlson and any other last-minute applicants to fill the alternate seat.
Area 8 encompasses mid- and southern Lodge Hill, which stretches along the west side of Highway 1 to Ardath and Pineridge drives from approximately Trenton Drive to the southern edge of western Cambria.

NCAC
The council of volunteers recommends actions to 2nd District Supervisor Bruce Gibson, and through his office to all other county agencies and departments. NCAC members review items ranging from countywide land-use regulations and individual housing or commercial projects to where and how to put up a single cellular canister antenna or stop sign.
The unpaid members serve two-year terms, during which time they also work on specific committees such as land use or traffic. Members can serve more than one term. The council meets on the third Wednesday of every month except December.
To vote
Voters will select the North Coast Advisory Council’s Area 2 representative during an election from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 5, at Heritage Oaks Bank, 2255 Main St.
