Fourth District Supervisor Bob Nelson announced the appointment of Orcutt resident Tony Guy to represent the Fourth District on the Orcutt, CA Planning Commission, succeeding outgoing Commissioner Roy Reed.
Reed served on the Planning Commission for two and a half years and was elected Chair by his fellow commissioners in January 2026, serving in that role during the final six months of his tenure.
