Under pressure from City Manager Don Reynolds and the San Juan Bautista City Council to complete its work, the city’s Urban Growth Boundary Committee voted Oct. 28 to submit the finished draft of its final project, a memorandum of understanding, to the San Benito County Board of Supervisors that would give the city a measure of input into developments on county property near its boundaries.
At a San Juan Bautista Planning Commission meeting back on Aug. 27, Chairman Jose Aranda said he had been told that one of the city’s businesses—“a major player here in town”—would likely close in a few weeks.
During its Oct. 15 meeting, the San Juan City Council discussed new city staffing and an agreement with the City of Hollister for fire services.
In a surprise announcement, City Manager Don Reynolds notified members of the San Juan Bautista City Council and planning commission that he would not be seeking a renewal of his contract and would be retiring as of the end of the year.
BenitoLink hosted a General Election Forum at the Granada Theater in Hollister on Sept. 28. About 120 people were in attendance.
