Funded through the Coastal Business/Visitors Fund using TOT revenue, this project reflects the City’s commitment to safe, attractive public spaces. | | SANDAG Seeks Public Members for Audit Committee | | | | SANDAG is looking for three public members to serve on its Audit Committee for a two-year term starting November 1st.
