GRF director appointed to SB planning commission

At the Jan. 10 Seal Beach City Council meeting, Dominic (Nick) Massetti of Mutual 17 was appointed to the Planning Commission as a representative of District 2.

“I’m looking forward to learning more about what goes on in government at the larger Seal Beach community level,” Massetti said.

Massetti, who has lived in LW since 2009, currently serves on the GRF Board of Directors. Among other contributions, in 2017, he partnered with the South Coast AQMD to install 29 air quality-monitors within the community, plus a weather station on Mutual 17’s Building 1.

Having received a bachelor’s degree in physics from St. Mary’s College in Moraga and a master’s in solid state physics from UC San Diego, Massetti’s career spanned 45 years at companies including Hughes Aircraft, Texas Instruments and Seagate Technologies. He retired in 2016 from his position as an intellectual property engineer for OmniVision Technologies in Santa Clara.

In addition to serving on the GRF Board, Massetti volunteers for the Y-Mens Service Group, tends a garden plot in Edison Park, manages a newsletter for his engineering society and helps to manage the activities of his nearby grandchildren.

District 2 City Council Member Thomas Moore requested Massetti’s appointment.
