Kings County board appoints Miguel Adatorre Jr. to Planning Commission (District 2)

The Kings County Board of Supervisors appointed Miguel Adatorre Jr. to the District 2 seat on the Kings County Planning Commission during its Jan. 13 meeting. Staff noted the board received two applications for the opening and that state posting rules require a vacancy to remain open for at least 10 working days before a final appointment. A supervisor moved for Adatorre's appointment and another supervisor seconded the motion.

Supporters described Adatorre as a longtime community volunteer who helped organize a recent town hall in Kelman City, assisted with outreach and logistics, and worked with county staff on community events. After the board's affirmative vote, Adatorre said he takes civic engagement seriously and looks forward to representing the West Side of the valley.

The clerk recorded affirmative votes from members present and the appointment was carried.
