Nick Zupkofska Appointed Utilities Commissioner

At the council meeting last Tuesday night, Council Member Dr. G (Dr. Luis S Gonzalez) appointed Nick Zupkofska, as a Utilities Commissioner, which was unanimously confirmed by the council.

Nick Zupkofska lives in Council District #3, along with his wife, Melody and two children. They have lived in Colton for 17 years and have discovered that this was a good place to raise a family. For the last 20 years he has worked in the purchasing department for a food service company.

Nick met Dr.G through his attendance at CITY TALK meetings. After a short period of time, he began to attend the Council meetings and many meetings of both the Planning and Utilities Commissions. Over time, his interest in city affairs has grown to the point of asking many questions, making public comment, and showing a desire to learn more and engage further.

When asked about his desire to serve, Nick responded, “I’m interested in serving as a commissioner in order to make a positive impact while performing my civic duty.”  If someone were to count the hours he has already spent attending meetings, there would be no doubt he already has pretty good understanding of the process and of the responsibilities of being a commissioner.

Nick Zupkofska is absolutely ready to take on this responsibility. With his energy, involvement, knowledge and excellent communication skills he’ll be an effective commissioner. His first meeting on the commission was this past Monday, February 12, and he is slated to continue for the next three years during Dr. G’s tenure as a Council Member. Congratulations to Mr Nick Zupkofska on his appointment to the Utilities Commission.

An October City announcement draws attention to an everyday household practice with benefits for food budgets, kitchen safety and the environment. A basket of fresh produce can represent a week's worth of meals, the results of a successful backyard harvest or an unexpected bargain at the grocery store. Yet without proper storage, even the freshest fruits and vegetables can spoil before a family has an opportunity to use them.

An October announcement highlights how investigative technology and cooperation among law enforcement agencies can help solve crimes affecting Grand Terrace neighborhoods. For residents of Grand Terrace, home is more than an address. It is where families gather, children grow up and neighbors build relationships over many years. When a residential burglary occurs, the effects can extend beyond the property taken or damage caused. A crime inside someone's home can undermine the sense of security that makes a neighborhood feel safe.

The rumble of a commercial truck passing through a city can represent two very different things. For a business awaiting a delivery, it may signal the arrival of essential supplies. For residents living near a busy roadway, it may raise concerns about traffic, noise and safety. In Grand Terrace, finding a reasonable balance between those interests is at the center of an ongoing transportation planning effort.
