Coastal Commission Appointment
Memorandum
Date: January 8, 2006
To: Mayor Cox, Councilmembers McCann, and Rindone
Fr: Councilrnember Rudy Ramirez
Re: Coastal Commissiol1 Appointment
As you are probably avvare, our colleague Steve Castaneda has been nominated
by the League of California Cities for an appointment to the Calilornia
Coastal Commission.
Former Mayor Steve Padilla1s resignation has created an opening for the JSan
Diego Coastal' position 011 the Commission, an appointment that will be made
by the Speaker oflbe California State Assembly, Fabian Nunez.
Like you, I have been concerned about our city1s loss of influence on this
important body at a time when so many critical decisions are upcoming
concerning the development of the Chula Vista Bayfront and the power plant
-- issues of great importance to our city! 5 future.
Steve Castaneda1s appointment would protect and maintain our cityls voice on
this important commission at this critical time.
For this reason, 1 suggest we formalize our support for Steve's appointment
with a vote, execute a letter of support from the entire city conncil to the
Speaker and direct our city1s lobbyist in Sacramento to provide advice and
assistance in support of the appointment.
Thank you for your consideration.
Rudy for Chula Vista
