Garcia, who was on probation, was booked into Sonoma County Jail on suspicion of arson and resisting arrest. Sonoma County Supervisor Mike Reilly, a member of the commission, said the changes to the Sonoma Coast plan are technical in nature and do not alter any of the commission's major land-use policies. Reilly said the Board of Supervisors will be undertaking a comprehensive review of land use along the coast in the coming year as part of the general plan update process. Once the county's update is completed, the Coastal Commission is also expected to revise its plan for consistency. A plan to eliminate the Sonoma County Recorder's office as an elected position won unanimous approval Tuesday from county supervisors.
State law allows the supervisors to consolidate some elected offices when the seats become vacant.
In this case, the board decided to merge the recorder's operations with the Sonoma County Clerk's Office.
