Meeting
November 26, 2007
Patty Chavez of Southbay
Community Services has asked us to consider collecting canned food, socks,
pencils, etc. at our meetings for the residents of the foster children’s,
homeless teens’, homeless families’, and battered women’s shelters they run.
They also feed many low-income seniors and the homeless on Wednesday. I told
her we would do this for our November meeting. I also said we would adopt a
family from the Battered women’s shelter for Christmas. Their wish list is Mom: purse, wallet As you can see the needs are
great yet small things like pencils and socks would be useful and appreciated.
Please help if you can. Bayvista Walk has been postponed at the request of
the developer. We still have the issue that the community of Palomar Gateway
wants a voice in a specific plan before any more development takes place here.
We will vote on supporting them in their request. Peaker Power Plant There is a 44.5 Mw plant now at the
end of Albany near the Otay River. It is dirty and inefficient so rarely
operates. MMC power has an option to buy it and wants to expand it to 100mw and
operate it for up to 2,000 hours or more a year. This is not appropriate 350
feet from homes and within 1500 feet of an elementary school, HeadStart,
Recreation Center and Senior lunch site. We will vote on an official position
Thursday. City engineer asks that all potholes
be reported to 397-6000. Mobile
