MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Area Town Hall this week will get updates on local projects and host a meet and greet for District 1 supervisorial candidates.

MATH will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 12, at the Middletown Community Center, 21256 Washington St.

Meetings are open to the community.

Thursday's meeting will start with report on the Dollar General store proposal, which the Lake County Planning Commission denied at its April 28 meeting.

MATH also will hear a report on the plans to place a dormitory for fire relief workers at Trailside Park and get an update on the group's chili cookoff later this month.

Other items of business include a proposed by-law amendment to all board members to be elected from districts and a proposal to designate a community clean-up day.

The other main item on the MATH agenda is a meet and greet and forum with District 1 supervisorial candidates.

Running this year to succeed retiring Supervisor Jim Comstock are Voris Brumfield, Monica Rosenthal, James Ryan and Jose “Moke” Simon III.

Community members will have the chance to ask questions directly of the candidates.

The MATH Board includes Chair Fletcher Thornton, Vice Chair Claude Brown, Secretary Margaret Greenley, and members Linda Diehl-Darms and Gregg Van Oss.

MATH – established by resolution of the Lake County Board of Supervisors on Dec. 12, 2006 – is a municipal advisory council serving the residents of Anderson Springs, Cobb, Coyote Valley (including Hidden Valley Lake), Long Valley and Middletown.

Meetings are subject to videotaping.
