Meeting started at 9:12 a.m.
Presentations to the Committee were made by the Property Owners. The property
owners present at the meeting were J. C. Thomas and Claudia Carrillo representing
SDG&E, Marc Gabay and Sarah Withers representing the Charles Co., and Chris
Calkins representing Carltas.
The property owners gave the Committee information about the properties that are
included in Proposition D. SDG&E representatives indicated that they were doing what
ever was necessary for the continuation of agriculture at this time, but that it is a costly
endeavor.
Chris Calkins (Carltas) gave the Committee background on the property owners
regarding the agriculture and farming that they did over the years. They would like to
continue to farm. They are looking at what revenue producing uses and public uses
could possibly be placed on the property. Chris Calkins distributed conceptual plans of
possibilities for the property.
Sarah Withers representing the Charles Co. indicated that they currently had no plans
for the site and that it was a long term investment for the Company at this time.
The Committee then discussed the format for the Continued Conversation meetings that
Michael Holzmiller had drafted. One format was for the Continued Conversation on
Agriculture. The other three Continued Conversations for Passive, Active and Cultural
Open Spaces would follow the same format.
Information was distributed to the Committee on different types of voting methods that
could be used at the meetings and the cost for each. There was discussion regarding
how the voting should be accomplished. Some of the Committee expressed that the
voting should be conducted for each individual site rather then for all the sites.
Diane Lantz asked if we would be making the information and voting available to those
who may not be able to attend the workshops.
Gary Barberio indicated that we were looking at ways that the public would be able to
participate.
A list of possible dates for the Continued Conversations was distributed to the
Committee for their review.
The next meeting was tentatively scheduled for February 15, 2008 from 9:00 to 11:00
a.m. The following will be the Agenda items for the next meeting:
1) Presentation on Carlsbad Ranch Specific Plan
2) Presentation on SDG&E Property Constraints
3) Design and Schedule of Continued Conversations (Focus Groups)
