Coastal Commission Appointment
Memorandum
Date: J anmuy 8, 2006
To: Mayor Cox, Councilmembers McCann, and Rindone
Fr: Councilmember Rudy Ramirez
Re: Coastal Commission Appointment
As you are probably aware, our colleague Steve Castaneda has been nominated
by the League of California Cities for an appointment to the Calit'ornia
Coastal Commission.
Former Mayor Steve Padillals resignation has created an opening for the 3San
Diego CoastaF position on the Commission, an appointment that \vill be made
by the Speaker of the 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 CitylS future.
Steve Castaneda1s appointment would protect and maintain our cityls voice on
this important commission at this critical time.
For this reason, I suggest we formalize our support for Stevels appointment
with a vote, execute a letter of support from the entire city council 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
