The Beginning
In April 2010, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors voted to name the pool in honor of Supervisor Centeno, a tireless champion of the needs for the Cuyama Valley community that is part of the Fifth District. The ceremony was held on May 28, 2010 and included unveiling a new sign bearing Centeno’s name on the aquatics complex building at 290 Wasioja Street in New Cuyama at the County’s Richardson Park. Ever since taking office as the Fifth District Supervisor in 2003, Supervisor Centeno has worked to ensure that the (approximately) 800 residents of the Cuyama Valley received the vital County programs and services they need, including the swimming pool—a critical resource since summer weather routinely exceeds 100 degrees in the Cuyama Valley.
