Planning Commissioner Steps Down

Montecito Planning Commissioner Joe Cole has stepped down from the Montecito Planning Commission, after being reappointed in January 2018 to fill the seat left vacant by Dan Eidelson. Cole served as chair of the Commission following the 1/9 Debris Flow through the end of 2018, and says he values the experience. “It was humbling to watch everyone associated with the County work long and effective hours on Montecito’s disaster recovery and rebuilding, whether public safety, supervisors, county executives, commissioners, or dedicated employees in Planning & Development, Public Works and other departments,” he said. 

Cole is currently heavily involved with the Partnership for Resilient Communities, serving on the core team of founders of the organization.
