City seeks volunteers to help with ballot questions

The volunteers will be writing pro and con statements regarding the advisory questions that will appear on the upcoming ballot, including whether or not to remove the 30-home per developer limit from the growth control ordinance and if there should be an exit at Buchanan Boulevard from Interstate 11.

Volunteer data sheets are available at the city clerk’s office, 401 California Ave., or by visiting the city’s website at www.bcnv.org.
