Assemblywoman's son applies for Pomona parking board

The eldest son of Assemblywoman Norma Torres, D-Ontario, has applied to serve on the city's Board of Parking Place Commissioners.

Robert Torres has submitted an application for the board, which oversees city- owned parking lots in the downtown area.

Torres' application is going to the City Council for approval Monday. Should it be approved, Torres would fill the board seat representing City Council District 2.

Appointments to the board must go to the council for approval because, unlike other commissions, this one is regulated by state laws, according to a city staff report.

If approved, Torres would serve for four years, the report said, or until the nominating council member's term ends. In this case, Torres is being nominated for the board seat by Councilman Freddie Rodriguez who represents District 2.
