Encinitas is going to keep dogs out of Orpheus Park during the school drop-off rush, after recently approving extended hours that would have had dog time overlap with the drop off.
From a PTA email that went out two days ago:
A major issue at the last council meeting was that the school was not represented (PEC office staff say that the district policy is for the school to not get involved in "political" issues), so the PEC PTA is the only possibility for school representation.Is "political" now synonymous with controversial? PEC staff could have been informative without taking a position on the ordinance.
County Supervisors Vote on Merriam Mountain
"Supervisors Bill Horn and Greg Cox favoring construction of the Merriam Mountains development. Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Pam Slater-Price turned it down."
Merriam Mountain Project and Eminent Domain
"Using eminent domain, the county can force property owners to sell part or all of their land for public uses, such as roads and infrastructure improvements."
There would be a public use of the taken land, but the need for the land is motivated by private enterprise.
Vista to Use E.D. for Jobs and Revenue
Mayor Morris Vance said. "But a city needs to do everything it can to provide for services we need. Overall, for the good of the community we do need revenue derived from this project"
(OLD) Eminent Domain on the Leucadia Blog
...What if the Ecke rezone will have a significant impact on the traffic on Saxony and widening the street is required? Would it be okay for the City to use eminent domain then?...
Promised Jobs Evaporate After New London Eminent Domain
The first landmark was the shocking decision that the Pfizer drug company was abandoning New London, Conn., taking 1,400 jobs with it.

I for one am happy Maggie stepped up for "us" and accepted the Deputy Mayor position.
ReplyDeleteMy dog would also agree!
As long as it was't Teresa, or any of those boring guys.
ReplyDeleteElect anyone, BUT, Teresa or Danny.
THROW THE BUMS OUT IN 2010. We need new blood in
Washington, California and Encinitas.
Calling all donated dirt! Scripps hospital has agendized an item before council next Wednesday seeking permission to dump their dirt from the parking garage excavation onto Moonlight beach -- of course they call it sand. How come residents have to pay to have their dirt hauled away, but commercial enterprises can just dump it on the beaches! Is Scripps paying the City to do this? Has their dirt been tested for contamination? What other city allows construction dirt to be dumped on their beaches.
ReplyDelete3 more trees gone at Roadside Park. Thanks Mr. Hazeltine.
ReplyDeleteI've met The Enemy and it's "us".
The city will actually pay for part of the dirt expenses from the Scripps hospital multistory parking lot excavation. The hospital that keeps on doing it to the community in their march to become a regional medical hospital.
ReplyDeleteI read in the EIR that the soil at Scripps could have gasoline in it from the nearby burger king/gas station now shut down. Wear your gas masks at the beach.
ReplyDeleteYep, old gas stations can contaminate up to two blocks away. The old gas station at the neighborsaver had leaky tanks and they were finally removed. But not before the water in the gas destroyed my van and a few other cars I'd see broken down in a radius of two blocks - right after they got gas at the Neighborsaver. When they dug the tanks up, I'll never forget what happened. They were actually sitting in the water table, and for the few days they sat in the bottom of a hole, at high tides they would float! For real.
