  EDITORIAL: Fresno Cooperation Task Force is a good idea

  Andreas Borgeas says that one of the reasons he ran for the Fresno County Board of Supervisors was to convince county and city of Fresno leaders to mutually address shared problems.

  A board member for one month, the former Fresno City Council member will try to get the wheels moving at today's board meeting. There, Borgeas will seek approval for the Fresno Cooperation Task Force, a joint county and city ad hoc committee that would talk about such things as economic development, regional planning, social services and law enforcement.

  As proposed, the committee members from the county would be Borgeas, Distict 3 Supervisor Henry R. Perea and County Administrative Officer John Navarrette. Representing the city: one to three council members, Mayor Ashley Swearengin and City Manager Mark Scott.
