Yahoo!Supervisor Salud Carbajal Names Dick Thielsher's Replacement
Supervisor
Salud Carbajal announced Monday afternoon that Jack
Overall (pictured) 
has been selected to replace
Dick Thielscher on the Montecito
Planning Commission.
Carbajal said his decision was a difficult one because the three candidates who applied -- Overall, retired business executive J.W. Colin, and writer Stephen Murdoch -- were all very qualified. Thielscher resigned from the area's planning commission in December and the seat has since sat vacant. Last month Sue Burrows was confirmed to take a seat on the MPC after a delayed approval by the Board of Supervisors. "I chose Jack Overall because he has had extensive experience within the community of Montecito," Carbajal explained. Overall, who has served on the Montecito Association for nine years, agreed his strongest qualification was his experience. He has served as vice president and treasurer of the Montecito Association and also headed its 101 study team and the Zoning Ordinance Reformatting Project Team. His appointment will be placed on next week's Board of Supervisor agenda for confirmation. If confirmed, Overall will be seated in time for the February 21 meeting.

J'Amy how could such a major story not be reported? Last week - that would be 7 days ago - the county Board of Supervisors voted to overturn the appeal by the so-called Concerned Citizens Against Westmont College and approve the development plan that the Montecito Planning Commission had unanimously approved late last year. Seems that this should loom rather large in Montecito Montage. Did I miss it?

Hi Robert (and where's Sonny these days... it seems your duo had a bit of following...)
Anyway, Montage got caught up in breaking news last week, but I did do a brief summary of the 5-hour Westmont hearing on Feb. 6 post (easy to miss below the SBIFF star slide show)...The neighbors' appeal was denied (4-zip), and now they're off to court.
It was a cursory story (at best), as it seemed ever so predictable, almost like a non-news event, but hopefully Montage can redeem herself (and her enthusiasm) next week during Round Two.
Tuesday morning the college gets to air its appeal issues before the BOS---so count on "scoop" to be there--that is if she is not suffering too badly from depression, caused by being nixed from Caruso's shindig.

Does Jack wear overalls like RC? I dunno. I'm just a little concerned about the three amigos- Brookes, Joni and Centeno. I can't miss the first 15 min of a supe meeting 'cos Firestone makes me laugh..he looks like he's either gonna cry or lunge out of his seat at someone! No wonder Janet looks at like he's from Virginia....

Hey J'amy...since you've talked to Ty and Caruso, can you get an interview with Wendy McCuckoo? That would be sumthin!
