III: Reports: None
IV: Oral Communication:
Theresa asked if anyone had anything they wanted to say or ideas for
future meeting topics. Sharon Floyd stated
she would like to hear about the Salt Works status. This was discussed
&
decided that we would invite someone to speak on this at the next general
meeting.
V: Old Business:
Theresa gave an update on the peaker plant. The goal is to
have 2,000 signatures on petitions by the end of August to present to the
CEC when the next meeting is scheduled. Petitions were made available, along
with information sheets about the peaker plant. Those wishing to sign
petitions did so .
VI: New
Business: Bayfront Project: Harbor District, Otay District, &
the Sweetwater District were all presented in a Power Point Presentation given
by Theresa. This in-depth presentation explained the proposed building of
structures, infrastructure, changes in
current usages, wildlife & nature impacts along with density, the lack of
solving obvious problems such as traffic flow, resource protection, noise
disruptions (train whistles) , etc. The audience had serious concerns
about who would pay for all of this, who had the ultimate responsibility for
the bond commitment being met, & how we as taxpayers could voice informed
opinions. Another voiced concern was the architecture & compatibility
with the culture of this area. Information on how to do this was given by
Theresa along with opinion sheets that could be used for this purpose.
VII: Next general
meeting will be at the MAAC Charter School on August 25 at
6:45pm. Proposed agenda: Salt Works Status
VIII: Meeting adjourned at 8:40pm,
motion made by Ed Herrera, seconded by Karen Ratcliff.
