today, Aug. 27 in the multi-purpose room of the Community Center at 5401 Snyder Lane.

Public Safety Director Brian Masterson is retiring at the end of the month, and retired Sebastopol police Chief Jeff Weaver was selected as the department's interim director. Weaver was with the Sebastopol Police Department for 29 years, 13 of them as police chief.
