The Richland girls volleyball team was honored by the City Council Tuesday night.
The Shafter City Council on Tuesday night interviewed candidates for three open seats on the Shafter Planning Commission Board – Armando Camacho, Mariah Campos, Zachary Fain, John Sanchez, Joseph Simmons and Fortino Valdivia.
The council is to decide on the three successful candidates at their next meeting.
Camacho is a Shafter business owner who has made a career in the accounting field, and has been a member of the 746 Sports Foundation and the Shafter Lions Club.
Campos is a 2024 high school graduate and was active in cheerleading, swimming and volunteered for several charity events.
Fain is a Shafter native and is the director of operations of Best Solar in Bakersfield. He believes that our community needs more community involvement when it comes to city operations, as well as wanting to see our community thrive.
Sanchez has been serving on the Planning Commission for the past four years and wants to continue that service. He said that he loves serving his community and is looking forward to helping Shafter grow.
Simmons has been an EMT and safety manager for the past 15 years. He grew up in Shafter and believes that there needs to be more private-public partnerships to increase the economic growth within the city limits.
At the meeting, the council also recognized the Richland Girls volleyball team, which went undefeated this year. The team was coached by Rosie Villagomez and ended their league as champions with a perfect 15-0 record. They also went on to place first in the League tournament and at the South Yosemite Athletic Association tournament. The players honored were Emma Allred, Eternity Barboza, Annabella Cueto, Aliyah Gonzalez, Jayleen Gonzalez, Aubrey Hernandez, Valery Lovera, Jessica Martinez, Jordan Perez, Janessa Torres and Ariel Zamora.
