Meeting September 24, 2007

Our next meeting will be at 6:45PM at the MAAC Charter School at 1385 Third Ave. (between Palomar and Quintard, east side of street) on MONDAY.  If you haven’t returned survey from last month please do so.. The city is getting serious about starting this planning process and have hired a consultant. We want the community’s views to be known AND ACTED UPON!!

We will have Councilman Rudy Ramirez, who will give a report about his first six months in office and listen to people’s feedback and comments.

Councilman Ramirez and Norberto Salazar and Steve Palma from our board attended a conference in Indianapolis about ways communities can revitalize themselves. They will give a report.

Assistant Manager Scott Tulloch and Nancy Lytle will give a presentation about Community Strenthening strategies and how people can get involved in the planning process.

 

Redevelopment Areas

in Chula Vista

We will have a large map with streets at meeting.

 
Bayvista Walk (Pumpkin Patch) I still have not received the promised responses to my comments on the environmental document for this project. This is an excellent example of how the input of the community is routinely ignored by the city’s planners. I am inclined to think that we should take a stand here and demand the project stops.

They actually had the developer pay a planner to do a plan for the entire Palomar Gateway area-both sides of Palomar to Anita on the south from I-5 to just passed Industrial on the east with no public involvement. Now the city expects us to believe they care what the public wants????

Infrastructure

City engineer asks that all potholes be reported to 397-6000.

Mud, Dirt or Sewage in Street?

CALL:  Christina Arias (858) 627-3931, carias@waterboards.ca.gov. She works for the Regional Water Quality Review Board. CALL and take pictures. Enough complaints WILL get action. The city can’t ignore the state.

Mobile Home and Trailer Park News

The Mobile Home Park Ordinance amendment has been put on hold while staff researches some new suggestions. If you have a creative solution, please tell them. We need to do surveys of all the parks and make our views clear to elected officials. It would be a good idea to form an association at your park if there is not one yet and to do survey so that decision makers will start to see the park as a collection of individuals.
