Before her appointment, Harmon told Noozhawk that she will have an active role in conversations about sea-level rise and balancing coastal protection with the needs for housing in the Santa Barbara community.
“First and foremost my priority is transparency and communication. I will bring a love and respect to this law and balance that with pragmatic approaches,”she said in an earlier interview. “Housing and coastal erosion are the most pushing questions for our county, and we have to make sure that we are taking a balanced approach on the commission.”
When nominated by the Board of Supervisors back in March, Harmon was credited with a deep knowledge of the Coastal Act and the Central Coast region. Harmon has said that she knows how challenging it is to balance the complexity of the Coastal Act with fundamental property rights, and she realizes the value and necessity of both.
