The St. Helena City Council on Tuesday appointed Rosaura Segura and Marika Rothfeld to two vacant seats on the Planning Commission.
Segura is an immigration consultant, grapegrower and former chair of the Napa Valley College Board of Trustees, with deep ties to the local Latino community and a history of advocating for farmworker housing.
Segura ran for St. Helena City Council in November. Her term on the Planning Commission will expire in June 2024.
With the city undertaking a comprehensive update of its zoning codes, ânow may be the most important time ever to examine how we can create a full-spectrum community, one open to people from all walks of life, income levels, ages, genders, orientations and ethnicities,â Segura told the council.
