County fetes past CPAC members
Rio Linda Elverta News September 22, 2005
30 years of service celebrated


by Jay O'Brien


Sacramento County's Municipal Services Agency (MSA) hosted a reunion dinner September 13th for all past members of the Rio Linda/Elverta Community Planning Advisory Council (CPAC).  The reunion was held at the Community Center; CPAC member Jeff Bair catered the dinner.

Celebrated were thirty years of service to the community by CPAC members, each appointed by the County Supervisor in office at the time. MSA's Principal Planner Leighann Moffitt made everyone feel welcome; she was assisted by County staff members Carol Gregory and Michelle Preslar.

First District County Supervisor Roger Dickinson, however, did not attend or send his thanks to those who attended the reunion.

CPAC is being replaced by the new Community Council; Dickinson, however, has appointed only two of the present ten CPAC members to serve on the new five-member Community Council.

Eleven CPAC members, who served during the 30 year history of our CPAC, attended the reunion. The attendees, listed by the first year of their service as CPAC members, were Thelma Cormier (1977); Jay O'Brien (1978); Wilma Dyer (1979); Pollie Parker and Charlea Moore (1991); Bill Pettis (1993); Karyn Lehman (1994); Debbie Byrne and Hal Morris (1997); Jeff Bair (2002); and Zack Arbios (2003).

The Rio Linda/Elverta CPAC has an enviable history of strongly and appropriately representing this community. Hopefully the County will allow the new Council to follow CPAC's 30 year tradition.
