On Feb. 1, 2017, Unit 1218, City of Lompoc, presented a $250 donation to Justin (JD) Aguilar, a Lompoc employee currently working in the Urban Forestry Department. The Community Fund donation is intended to assist JD as he pursues training at Northwestern Lineman School in Oroville, CA.
JD has requested a 90-day unpaid Leave of Absence from the City to be able to attend the training, with the hope of getting a Lineman position with the City of Lompoc in the Electric Department. The members of the Lompoc Unit want to wish JD good luck at school and in his future endeavors with the City.
