Lompoc voters approved a resolution backing tall sycamores and eucalyptus along East and West Ocean Avenues and replacing Lemon Bottlebrush shrubs on North H Street. The plan includes 28 approved street tree species and urban forestry guidelines, with eucalyptus up to 60 feet. Other actions included trimming the beautification commission, honoring long-time residents, and approving road, water, and wastewater projects while seeking state and federal coordination. Police in Reno report the drive to find top drivers failed, with only two qualified in five months.
