He reminded us to keep an explicit log if we see or suspect disruptive and/or illegal activity. Get license plates w/ dates & times. Digital photos are helpful, too. While there must be criminal activity for the police to take immediate action, they can always run plates to see if a car was stolen and/or owned by a parolee. Civil court remains an option. Leo Wilson (chair of the CPC & Uptown Planning Committee) founded a program called Safe Streets to help citizens w/ problematic neighbors. He took a fellow condo owner to court for selling drugs and successfully forced the dealer out of the complex.

He said it was much better but didn’t have any solid #s.

 District 8:

-Diana Jurado-Sainz for Ben Hueso’s office. A middle school girl was followed/ harassed on her way to school, so they’re working on getting addt’l volunteer patrols in the area. Contact Annie Anderson (619-446-1016) if you’re interested.

-Annual COW May 17^th- required for new committee members and encouraged for all others. Metropolitan Waste Water Facility 9192 Topaz Way (1/2 day).

-Swan song: After 4 years of working w/ our committee, Miles is moving on to bigger & better things. Dave stood up and formally thanked Miles for his professionalism, hard work, and sound guidance. Everyone concurred, and Miles was given a big round of applause.

-Bernie Tergen (1 of Mile’s 2 replacements) was introduced. Bernie’s been w/ the department since the early 90s, and he’s also a senior planner. (Marlin Paghenitan, not present) will also be working w/ us. They’re both involved w/ our community plan update (they’re clustering 3 together), and it is a priority. They’re seeking funding now and plan on using consultants in addition to city staff. (Budget appropriations will be in July).

 CPC Update:

-Chris Blatt announced the San Diego Taxpayers Association is soliciting nominees for their Golden Fleece Awards. Must submit them by April 4^th.

 MAD update:

-David Skillman: MAD will be putting up banners soon. Carole asked why trinkets were getting priority over staples. In MAD, money was earmarked specifically for them, & it was an easy place to start. There was a lot of discussion about the impact the MAD will have on city services. Jeffery Tom said they are supposed to supplement, not supplant, our basic services. He offered to help facilitate a discussion to help clarify this issue and will report back in April. It was suggested that the CDC and/ or MAD give a presentation to help clear up the confusion. The MAD committee meets every 3^rd Monday @ the Golf Course.

 CDC’s MOU w/ GH Community Garden:

 -Rosemary Downing was out of town & unable to attend.

 City Council District 3 Candidates:

-Will appear @ a forum Mon, April 7^th for questions & to present their platforms @ Christ United Church (on Fir between 30^th & Fern).

-Information only items: the 27^th & F project is a few months away from presenting, and the concept for the 30^th & Broadway site was shown @ the last Land Use meeting.

 Action Items:

-Address on consent agenda item 3 was improperly noticed, and it was pulled from the consent agenda and rescheduled for April’s meeting.

-Consent agenda approved. Unanimous.

 Public Comment:

-Matt Thomas (1 of 2 partners): Info update from Alchemy Restaurant. They had a fire but are back on track. All of their permits have gone thru. Dave (and others) think project should have come before us for review (exterior elevations/ materials/ offsetting planes), and he’d heard some historical aspects had been stripped. Matt offered to come back in April & discuss restaurant plans again. Dave wanted the project # & project manager’s name for follow up. Universal Boot Shop owns the building. Miles will check status & see if this project is in their system (1503 30^th St). Mile’s best guess was that is was a ministerial process, but Dave wondered how that would apply to a project built from the ground up. Per David, 3006 Beech St. is the county assessment # for the same property.

 -Tershia d’Elgin: Tershia discussed the letter she’d asked us to endorse/ send to the San Diego Unified School District re: tree maintenance & re-planting in the 32^nd Street Canyon, and asked us (if approved) to send it to Tony Rasso w/ a cc to the city. Angela wanted to know if the wall the SDUSD constructed on the site had been part of the environmental review. Tershia explained that the school district didn’t have the design done during the review, but they had told the community they would work w/ the existing topography. The wall, therefore, was a surprise. Tershia  read the letter, and it was unanimously approved.

 Elections:

-Everyone was elected & seated! (New members: Frederick Ruffell, Anita Margolis, and Marie Skillman. Re-elected: Richard Baldwin, Maureen Burke, and David Skillman).

 Parks:

-No report

 Code Compliance:

-No report

 Balboa Park Committee:

-Laurie Burgett: They’re having their 1^st public meeting on a governance model proposed in a massive, recently released report. It’s available on the Balboa Park website, as well as City TV.

-There may have been some trees taken down in the park. Laurie will investigate & report back. The park is removing non-native and sick flora from the 28^th Street area & Golden Hill Park. Tim (from the audience) said park & rec hired CCC to do some of the work. They’re going to start planting some good sized oak and another native tree next week. Will they irrigate? Not sure. Irrigation is set up.

 Airport Noise:

-Next meeting: March 20^th

 Historic:

Airport Presentation: Former Landfill Remediation Project presented by Ted Anasis-manager of airport planning. (tanasis@san.org)/
The former landfill was conveyed to prior airport authority in 2003 from the Naval Training Center to the City prior to that. They intend to dredge materials and municipal waste and then cap the area with imported soil. This will remove all the landfill materials, test for dust and odor nuisances, and then replace with clean soil. The area will then be tested and when clear-the new soil will be compacted. They expect the project to take 9 months to complete. The cost is expected to be between $60-65 million-using airport funds. The biggest concern at this point is the traffic concerns. Discussed that habitats of endangered vegetation and animal species will not be affected. Community members asked about possibilities of methane gas on site. This issue is to be assessed. The goal is for a 10 gate build out of terminal 2 that the group hopes to have built in 2009 with and opening in 2012.

Public Comment (non-agenda items):- Sheila Hardin (CCDC): Reported that CCDC is constantly asked by groups why their group is not willing to give the city part of their profits or pay back the money owed to the city from their original loan. She indicated that when CCDC was formed the city provided 16 million dollars to get started 32 years ago. She indicated it has not been paid back and even if it was it would not be able to go to use for the pension, budget or infrastructure funds because it comes from community development grants. She indicates that currently the mayor and Council supports keeping taxes received with CCDC.

Indicated that under grounding of overhead wiring is ongoing and would like to see streets get re-paved after the project is complete. Encouraged residents to call her office with questions or concerns.
MAD Update-Christy from GGHCDC- A community forum is planned for July 18 6:00 at Albert Einstein school. It will consist of a panel of representatives and a consultant. She reported that the maintenance money would not take care of what area gets funding and grants for-these monies are separate. Residents at meeting shared some of their concerns with the proposed MAD. One resident was concerned that once tax was implemented that it would never go down. Felt that City should take care of many of the services and once we have a MAD in place in our neighborhood that City will use it as an opportunity to stop taking responsibility. Christy shared she is leaving her current position in August-Rosemary Downey will be her replacement.
BYLAWS UPDATE: Scott reported he expects to have something prepared to discuss for the next months meeting with the goal of an having an action item in September.

Open Space-Mac-Bill in Senate moves the responsibility to state level because they can get funding there. He reviewed the all of the proposed Golden Hill parcels and compared with what is listed in bill as the parcels relate to canyons. There are a few areas that might be off but felt it captures the spirit of what the group is trying to accomplish. The bill is currently on the Assembly floor and is on its way through the process. It appears that new parcels can be added to the list through new legislation.

Presentation by Operation Managers of facility at 2456 E Street-a residential care facility. Don Sainz is the chief operations manager. He also manages another location at 14th and Market. Reported that facility has a very structured program. Reported a parole officer on site and that there is a 24 hours supervisor that includes bed checks among their duties. Facility houses both men and women who are in a drug and alcohol program. The facility also helps with job placement and helping residents move back into the community. Laura Garcia presented herself as the program manager. She can be reached at (714)-328-2177. She indicates they intend to have an open house in June to educate the community about their program. She reports that facility was remodeled to make it more neighborhood friendly and indicates they have been vandalized in process. Most residents stay for 6 months to a year. They are all low level offenders but indicates they are all at the facility voluntarily. The program is funded by the Parole Department as all residents have been in prison at some point prior to coming to their group. There are 36 beds on site and all are full at all times.

MAD update: Kathryn not present but received update from Diana. Surveys have been collected and in the process to be reviewed. The surveys are looked at to see if there is enough interest to go out for ballots. The ballots will state the exact amount the individual will pay. The issue has not come before Council yet. GHCDC submits the surveys but did not start the process with city money. 30% support from the residents are required to move forward. If city funds are not used then they don’t need the 30% support to move forward. Discussion that some areas that don’t support can possibility be split out of participation. Discussion that community is concerned about the stated procedures not being followed. Discussion with committee that the point people should be Scott Kessler and Kathryn Willits.

Public Comment (non-agenda items):- Sheila Hardin (CCDC): Reported that CCDC received an award for their downtown community plan. They produced 14,800 housing units of which 2,650 were affordable. This amount is more then any other amount in the County. This created more then 60,000 jobs. Reported that the City Works at the ends of B Street is part of their long range plans for 8 new parks.

Community member Tersha provided update on 32nd street canyon task force. Also requested that committee take no formal action at the proposed project at 2864 C Street because there are wetlands located there.

Mac updated group on upcoming South Park Old House Fair set for June 16.

Bulletin passed around with date of Golden Hill Paint Out being set for June 20.

Golden Hill Plan Update-Myles Pomeroy
Provided a handout and lead discussion on proposed cluster with Golden Hill, Uptown and North Park. There has been some pressure to get moving on Uptown and it would be more economical and make sense to include Golden Hill at same time due to studies that need to be done that are impacted by our area. Each community will still have their own plan and planning office sees Golden Hill as an area of stability. The planners need to re-examine land use designations in relation to current community goals, to strengthen and enhance historic districts and canyons, as well as preservation. Need to evaluate if the plan from 1989 still represents the community goals? The PDO is important because it implements the community plan and vision. The city intends to translate the PDO into land development code. Indicated that the current PDO will be in place until the planning committee is satisfied. Cost of update estimated at $2.4 million dollars. Would like to begin next winter 2008-2010. Discussion with committee members of their concerns about becoming part of a cluster and how that would affect our area current requirement for developers to come before our committee prior to starting projects. Myles discussed that each area would have a separate and distinct community plan for each area and the zones used here would not necessarily be used in North Park or Uptown.
Kathryn from GGHCDC spoke and advised committee that she believes it should be supportive because currently not all of Golden Hill is in the PDO and the land development can get zoning in effect.

GGHCDC MAD Update: Kathryn and Mitch Burner reported that the surveys have been acted on by the Council who chose to initiate the ballot process. It is a 45 day period and ballots should be received by home owners with in next few days. They will be printed by city. The second Council meeting is July 30 and the public hearing. Single Family Residences are going to be between $6-7 per month. They received 685 total surveys which is 23-24% of total parcels. 75% voted yes, 25% no and a small percent-3% unsure. Discussion the committee would be made up of public not private members who are elected along with one CDC board member. Total budget of $488,000 annually-15 % is an administration budget and can not have more then 25% in reserve or they have to stop charging. It would come as part of your property tax bill. Cost increases are done by the city oversight committee and if they are to be more then 5% or it would have go to a vote.Action Items: Open Space-Steve provided a list of areas in Golden Hill that are affected. Mac will evaluate to make all in our community are included.

Old House Fair Signups were still needed and Nora passed around a sign up sheet.
