Supervisor Gomez used the meeting’s announcements period to share two community reminders. Gomez said dumpsters will be available in Porterville at the fire station on Grey Street starting Dec. 5 to allow residents to dispose of tires, appliances and other trash; additional dumpster days are scheduled for Dec. 13–14 at the same location.

Gomez also announced that the Douglas Christmas light parade will take place this Saturday at 7:00 a.m.

The remarks were delivered during the meeting’s final announcements and were not part of the board’s formal agenda items.
