California Hot Springs Resort revival
The historic resort's temporary campground and yurts were approved, and the county's economic development office tied the project to a budding South Valley tourism loop, new farmer's markets, and small-business opportunities from Porterville to Springville.

Nine positions will be reclassified, with salary steps about 10% apart.
