The ordinance which establishes the duties of the RCC was reviewed by Staff Reid. Its
duties are related to the environment, energy, and historical protection. Additionally, Reid
said the draft EIR of the sphere study will be coming before the commission within the next
couple of months. LAFCO is the responsible agency for the overall project; however,
Chula Vista will be the lead agency. Commission was advised that it can make
recommendations to City Council in its review of documents such as these.
Chair Burrascano requested Staff to make an effort to contact the Historical Society when
issues such as tonight's presentation (Site #44) comes before the commission.

STAFF REPORT: The City is still moving on with the 4(d) permits. There is an impasse with the
county on how much take is permitted.
The next scheduled meeting of October 24 is one day prior to council approving the 5th
Alternative on the MSCP Plan. Staff Reid suggested a workshop prior to that time to explain all
the alternatives and to allow for adequate discussion for the new members. Fisher advised he will
not be present for the October 24 meeting.
CHAIRMAN'S COMMENTS: Chair Burrascano met with Staff to discuss several issues:
(a) Historical review status will be kept as part of the commission's duties; (b) suggestion made
that other commissions provide a status review so as to avoid overlap in duties; (c) do more
group review and mitigation when proposed; and (d) requested and received guidelines from
Staff as to what is an excusable absence.
COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS: Marquez asked where the fire of October 9 was located.
The area was pointed out on a map indicating where the 2000 acres were consumed. She also

Fisher requested time to review the Alternatives to the MSCP Plan.
