BURNEY – The Commissioners of the Burney Fire Protection District’s board continued their moratorium of the Community Facilities District, for another year.

Board Chair Bob Moore, and Commissioner Roger Valinoti currently hold the four -year seats and Commissioner Barry “Moe” Shapiro is in the two-year seat.
