Nominations were opened for Chair. Barbara Hall and John Kracha were

Hospital Expansion to first item of business. Discussions were opened to the public.
1. Wayne Wencke, President of Circinus Corporation, commented that defects
were found in the EIR and needed to be analyzed and fully explored. The
defects were as follows: Traffic issue; asbestos issue; redevelopment issues
and design/review issues. A better alternative location was suggested by his
company.
2. Joe Solomon, Attorney representing Circinus Corporation, commented that
EIR is flawed with the same above reasons including the economic analysis.
Solomon stated there had been a violation of state and local law because
Wencke had not been consulted for the project and that Scripps had been
chosen too quickly cancelling Wencke's chances. Solomon commented that
a letter had been sent to the City asking for an injunction regarding
economics.
3. James Leary, Architect representing Scripps Memorial Hospital, commented
that he was available to answer questions at this meeting.

before starting to build roads. A unanimous motion was carried to see adequacy on
sewer system. It was also noted that it is the only unzoned area in the city. A
motion was passed 6 to 1 that a request be given to City Council to look at zoning.
C.

suggestion that food be brought in for the next meeting on October 7 to celebrate the
elections of Chair and Vice Chair.
