The San Diego County Board of Supervisors this week approved Chairwoman Pam Slater-Price’s request to appoint the Honorable Maggie Houlihan, Encinitas city councilwoman, to the Environmental Health Advisory Board. The board provides guidance to the county’s Department of Environmental Health on major issues and programs. She also appointed Solana Beach Councilman Dave Roberts as an alternate to the board of the Polinsky Children’s Center, which provides emergency shelter for children in San Diego County.

His contributions to the Polinsky Center will be invaluable.”
