Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: City of Del Mar Wildfire Preparedness and Response Update REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the City Council receive an informational joint presentation from Captain Shane Watts with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and Chief Josh Gordon from the Del Mar Fire Department on the City of Del Mar’s wildfire preparedness and response efforts (Attachment A).
BACKGROUND:
The recent wildfires in Los Angeles County were devastating and underscore the need for coastal communities like the City of Del Mar (City) to prepare for times when fire conditions are high. The City takes fire prevention and response planning seriously and is committed to working alongside the community to minimize risk and ensure safety.
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and Del Mar Fire Department remain steadfast in protecting the safety and well-being of residents through comprehensive preparedness, response planning, and collaboration with regional partners. The Del Mar Fire Department is fully staffed and, through mutual aid agreements with neighboring jurisdictions, is prepared to respond promptly and effectively to all emergencies within the City of Del Mar.
The City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), which was recently updated in July 2024, is a comprehensive document that provides for a coordinated response to all hazards by City staff and emergency partners. The EOP can be viewed on the City’s website at https://www.delmar.ca.us/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_07082024-3484/#page=58.
Complementing the EOP, the Crest Canyon Evacuation Plan serves as a vital tool to enhance the safety of residents. This plan supports firefighting and law enforcement personnel in coordinating safe and efficient evacuations, prioritizing life-saving measures, and fire suppression efforts. The evacuation plan is also available on the City’s website at https://www.delmar.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/8477/Crest-Canyon-Evacuation-Plan_FINAL.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
To prepare for wildland fire events, the Del Mar Fire Department engages in extensive countywide training with regional fire departments and law enforcement agencies, including the San 1 February 18, 2025 Item 01
City Council Agenda Report
Wildfire Preparedness and Response Update
February 18, 2025
Diego County Sheriff’s Department. These joint training exercises ensure uniformity in standard operating procedures, strengthening the department’s ability to manage emergencies effectively and efficiently.
City staff also play an important role in emergency response in their trained capacity as designated disaster service workers for the City. This designation requires related Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and participation in ongoing Emergency Operations Center (EOC) training to prepare for different types of disaster events, including wildland fires.
The City also emphasizes wildfire prevention and mitigation. In partnership with the Del Mar Fire Department and EDCO, the City’s trash and recycling hauler, the City offers a fuel reduction program each summer to assist residents in clearing hazardous vegetation. As part of this program, approximately 340 Del Mar properties in the Wildland-Urban Interface area receive notices from the City informing them of mandatory property inspections and brush clearance.
Furthermore, the Fire Department conducts annual and state-mandated fire inspections of schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, and multifamily buildings to identify and reduce structure fire risks, ensuring the community remains as safe as possible.
In the coming months, the Fire Department will host a Fire Preparedness workshop for residents.
In the interim, and in response to public inquiries stemming from the LA fires, the City has published electronic notifications on how residents can stay safe and prepare for emergency events like wildfires, which include the following:
1. Visit the City’s Emergency Preparedness webpage to learn more about how to prepare for an emergency.
https://www.delmar.ca.us/281/Emergency-Preparedness
2. Develop an emergency plan to help prepare for, respond to, and recover from an emergency or disaster.
https://www.alertsandiego.org/en-us/preparedness/make-a-plan.html
3. Register cell phones and email address with AlertSanDiego, the notification system used by first responders to alert individuals in the event of an emergency. https://www.alertsandiego.org/en-us/preparedness/alertsandiego.html
4. Sign up for power outage alerts from SDG&E.
https://www.sdge.com/notifications
5. Download the GENASYS PROTECT and SD Emergency apps for alerts. https://protect.genasys.com/search?z=14&latlon=33.739744%2C-116.41279 https://www.alertsandiego.org/en-us/preparedness/SDEmergencyApp.html
6. Remember it is important to plan before the emergency happens, to evacuate early and follow all fire and law enforcement emergency orders.
Staff from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and Del Mar Fire Department will provide a joint informational presentation on how the two departments coordinate, prepare and respond to wildfire events, which includes the information described above and more, at the February 18, 2025, City Council meeting. The PowerPoint presentation slides are included as Attachment A.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Clem Brown, Assistant City Manager
Via Ashley Jones, City Manager
DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Presentation Regarding San Diego LOSSAN Rail Realignment Value Analysis Process and San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform Project REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests that the City Council receive an informational presentation from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) on the San Diego LOSSAN Rail Realignment Value Analysis process and the San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform project.
BACKGROUND:
LOSSAN Rail Realignment Project
The City of Del Mar has closely monitored SANDAG’s San Diego LOSSAN Rail Realignment project since public outreach began in 2020. The project includes studying options for removing the rail line from the fragile Del Mar coastal bluffs to an inland location by 2035.
Given the potential for significant temporary and permanent impacts to the City if the rail line were to be relocated from its current location, the project has generated a high level of community concern and engagement. More detailed information about the project can be found at https://www.sandag.org/projects-and-programs/featured-projects/lossan-corridorimprovements/lossan-rail-realignment.
The project is currently in the environmental review phase, which began with the issuance of a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on June 4, 2024.
The issuance of the NOP was the preliminary step in the State’s California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process that will determine the technical studies needed to develop an EIR for the project.
In response to the significant input received on the three alignment alternatives included in the NOP (Alternative A – I-5 Alignment; Alternative B – Crest Canyon Alignment; and Alternative C – Camino del Mar Alignment), SANDAG initiated a Value Analysis (VA) process in September 2024 to technically evaluate and improve upon the existing alignment alternatives and/or potentially identify new alternatives for further consideration. Participation in this technical exercise included representatives from key agency stakeholders including 1 February 18, 2025 Item 02
City Council Agenda Report
LOSSAN Project Updates
February 18, 2025
the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego, and Solana Beach; Fairgrounds; North County Transit District; and Caltrans. The City of Oceanside and the Metropolitan Transit System were also invited to participate, but did not attend.
The City had a seven-member team participate in the VA process, which included recently retired Mayor Dave Druker; Councilmember Tracy Martinez; City Manager Ashley Jones; Assistant City Manager Clem Brown; Public Works Director Joe Bride; Planning & Community Development Director Karen Brindley; and Principal Engineer Martin Boyd.
The City’s participation was largely informed by the concerns expressed by the Del Mar community along with the comment letter approved by the Del Mar City Council and submitted as part of the previous NOP process. Additionally, the City’s planning and engineering team members provided technical comments and suggestions during the technical working group sessions based on their experience and areas of expertise.
In December 2024, a draft VA Study Report was reviewed by the participating agency stakeholders at a meeting on December 20, 2024. On February 7, 2025, SANDAG released the Final VA Study Report, which analyzes 16 proposed alignment alternatives that include Alternatives A, B and C from the NOP. The Final VA Study Report can be found at:
https://mailchi.mp/sandag/lossan-rail-realignment-dec24-6098207?e=24e9090dc8.
On February 10, 2025, SANDAG issued a press release with additional updates on the project and next steps (Attachment A). After finalization of the VA Study Report, SANDAG staff have reviewed the conceptual ideas from the VA process, as well as prior studies and public feedback, and will propose the following five options (Figure 1) to the SANDAG Board of Directors for consideration to advance to environmental review at their meeting on February 28, 2025:
Under Crest Canyon (Under Jimmy Durante to I-5 Knoll): Realigned to minimize subsurface easements by routing below Crest Canyon. Corresponds to VA Study Alternative 6. Similar to NOP Alternative B. Blue line on Figure 1 map below. Under Camino Del Mar (Under Jimmy Durante to Torrey Pines Road West):
Aligned to minimize subsurface easements by following below Camino del Mar.
Corresponds to VA Study Alternative 8. Similar to NOP Alternative C. Purple line on Figure 1 map below.
San Dieguito Bridge to I-5 Knoll: Aligned to minimize impacts to Del Mar, the Fairgrounds, and San Dieguito Double Track Bridge. No corresponding VA alternative. Similar to NOP Alternative A. Yellow line on Figure 1 map below. Del Mar Bluffs Double Track Reinforced: Maintains current alignment, adds double track along the bluffs and through Los Penasquitos Lagoon with bluff reinforcement and more robust seawalls. Corresponds to VA Study Alternative 12. Green line on Figure 1 map below.

No Build: Includes continuation of major stabilization efforts that would be required to protect the existing single-track alignment.
Figure 1
San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform Project SANDAG's San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform (SDDT) project is a $347 million capital improvement project along the rail line between the cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar that will improve rail operations and safety in the LOSSAN rail corridor. The project includes 1.1 miles of new double track, replacement of the over 100-year-old wooden railroad trestle bridge, a new special events platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, a pedestrian undercrossing on the south side of the San Dieguito River, and other improvements. More detailed information about the project can be found at https://www.sandag.org/projects-andprograms/featured-projects/lossan-corridor-improvements/double-tracking-projects/sandieguito-double-track.
The project is fully funded and has completed environmental review. It is scheduled to go out for construction bidding this summer and start construction in early 2026 with a four-and-ahalf-year construction duration.
Since construction activities will take place within the City, an encroachment permit for the project, similar to the permit for SANDAG’s Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization Project 5 that is currently in construction, will be required. Staff is also coordinating with SANDAG and the North County Transit District (NCTD) on multiple license agreements that are required because the project includes the relocation and upgrades to City water and sewer 3 February 18, 2025 Item 02

SANDAG RELEASES VALUE ANALYSIS STUDY FOR LOSSAN TRACK RELOCATION SANDAG Board to Consider Recommendations on February 28 On Friday, SANDAG released the value analysis study report for the LOSSAN Rail Realignment Project. The value analysis study was conducted in response to public feedback received on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the project. The study's goal was to examine alternatives proposed in the NOP and identify enhancements or new route alternatives for relocating the tracks.
The value analysis was a technicalstudy done by representatives with technical expertise from Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego, Solana Beach, 22 nd District Agricultural Association, North County
Transit District, and Caltrans. The Metropolitan Transit System and the City of Oceanside were also invited.
SANDAG staff has been reviewing the conceptual ideas that were raised through the value analysis study, as well as prior studies, and public feedback, and will be proposing alternatives for the Board of Directors to consider at its meeting on February 28. This will also be the next opportunity for public feedback.
Below is a brief description of the recommendations that staff are currently studying:
Under Crest Canyon (Under Jimmy Durante to I-5 Knoll): Realigned to minimize subsurface easements by routing below Crest Canyon Under Camino Del Mar (Under Jimmy Durante to Torrey Pines Road West): Aligned to minimize subsurface easements by following below Camino Del Mar San Dieguito Bridge to I-5 Knoll: Aligned to minimize impacts to Del Mar, the Fairgrounds, and San Dieguito Double Track Bridge Del Mar Bluffs Double Track Reinforced: Maintains current alignment, adds double track along the bluffs and through Los Penasquitos Lagoon with bluff reinforcement and more robust seawalls No Build: Includes continuation of major stabilization efforts that would be required to protect the existing single-track alignment About SANDAG

ITEM 8: CONSIDERATION OF UNDERGROUNDING PROGRAM FINANCING OPTIONS (CLERK’S FILE NO. 203-3, 1001-2)
City Attorney Devaney reported that Councilmember Quirk has by email and newsletter blast, announced that he intends to file a claim and lawsuit against the City and is therefore initiating litigation against the City based on his desire to receive material per unit cost information for City capital projects including undergrounding. The City will review that claim and respond to that claim when it is received, as is required by law.
She reported that there is no such claim to make against the City as the appropriate procedure is for Councilmember Quirk to request this information, which he has done on multiple occasions and the City has responded that it is not in possession of the information which is because Del Mar, along with other municipalities in California, uses lump sum bidding which is proven to be the most cost effective for the City as the process incentives contractors to provide the lowest and most cost effective price to be the selected bidder.
City Attorney Devaney announced that the item before the City Council this evening is to receive a presentation from staff and NHA Advisors and give direction on financing options, if the City decides to finance. The item is not to noticed to discuss the City’s bidding process and line-item project costs. She 6 February 18, 2025 Item 03

DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Appointments to the Undergrounding Program Advisory Committee REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council Liaisons to the Undergrounding Program Advisory Committee recommend that the City Council reappoint Amy Cheshire and Wade Walker to the Undergrounding Program Advisory Committee (UPAC) as voting members to serve full three-year terms starting March 2, 2025, and ending on March 31, 2028.
BACKGROUND:
UPAC works with the Utility Undergrounding Program (UUP) staff team to move the City’s UUP forward in a timely manner, track progress on the goals and tasks, and evaluate ongoing project success and lessons learned to make recommendations for adjustments as necessary. UPAC consists of seven Del Mar residents serving three-year terms. For continuity, UPAC members may continue to be appointed for additional three-year terms through completion of the UUP.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
There are currently two upcoming vacancies on UPAC due to the term expirations of Amy Cheshire and Wade Walker on March 1, 2025. City staff advertised the vacancies, and two Citizen Interest Forms were received during the recruitment period from Amy Cheshire and Wade Walker (Attachment A).
If the recommended appointments are approved by the City Council, UPAC will have a full roster with no remaining vacancies. A copy of the current roster is included as Attachment B for the Council’s reference.

The City Council Liaisons to the Lagoon Committee recommend that the City Council appoint Nitza Leichtling to the Lagoon Committee as a voting member to serve a full three-year term starting March 1, 2025, and ending on March 31, 2028.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Lagoon Committee is charged with monitoring the preservation and enhancement of the portions of the San Dieguito and Los Penasquitos Lagoons located in the City of Del Mar, as well as actions outside the City of Del Mar that impact the lagoons. The Committee participates at both the local and regional level. Regionally, the Committee coordinates with the activities of the San Dieguito River Valley Joint Powers Authority (JPA) and monitors the lagoon’s restoration plan. Locally, the Committee monitors reports on the health of the lagoons, investigates additional public access opportunities, and encourages lagoon related educational and informational programs. The Committee also monitors and comments on all developments that may impact the two lagoons. The Committee consists of seven (7) voting members, all of whom must be Del Mar residents.
There is currently one upcoming vacancy on the Committee due to Carol Kerridge’s term expiration on February 28, 2025. City staff advertised the vacancy, and two Citizen Interest Forms were received during the recruitment period from Nitza Leichtling and Susan Maronde (Attachment A). Council liaisons to the committee reviewed the applications and recommend the City Council appoint Nitza Leichtling for a full three-year term effective March 1, 2025, and ending on March 31, 2028.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Parks and Recreation Committee (Committee) was established to advise the City Council on matters related to City parks and open space lands, recreation facilities, trails and scenic preserves, and to plan for specific development of Del Mar’s open space. The Committee reviews the City’s need for park and recreation facilities and guidelines governing the use and enjoyment of public parks and open space lands; makes recommendations to City staff regarding the efficient and adequate maintenance of City parks and open space lands; and reviews guidelines governing the use of the City’s trails and the Adopt-a-Spot Program. The Committee consists of seven voting members serving three-year terms. One member may be a non-resident.
There are currently two upcoming vacancies on the Committee due to the term expirations of Arlene Prater on March 31, 2025, and Claire McGreal on March 2, 2025. City staff advertised the vacancies, and two Citizen Interest Forms were received during the recruitment period from Arlene Prater and Susan Maronde (Attachment A).

FROM: Councilmembers Dan Quirk and John Spelich, Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee Council Liaisons
Prepared by Denise Galvan, Management Analyst
DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee Appointment REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council Liaisons to the Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee recommend that the City Council reappoint Zach Groban as the at-large, business representative voting member on the Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee to serve a full three-year term starting February 18, 2025, and ending on February 29, 2028.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee (TPAC) was established with the purpose of developing advisory recommendations to the City Council on specified traffic and parking items referred to the Committee by City staff or the City Council. The Committee relies on the advice of City staff, including the City’s traffic and engineering consultants, and the Sheriff’s Department.
TPAC also has the authority to refer specific concerns to the City’s contract traffic engineer, upon approval of the City Manager. TPAC consists of seven voting members, one of which is a business representative member representing a business located in Del Mar. The business representative may be a non-resident. Geographic diversity is desirable and is taken into account when the Council appoints members to the Committee.
There is one business representative vacancy on the Committee due to the term expiration of Zach Groban on January 30, 2025. City staff advertised the vacancy, and one Citizen Interest Form was received during the recruitment period from Zach Groban (Attachment A).
If the City Council approves the recommended appointment, the Committee will have one remaining vacancy. A copy of the current Committee roster is included as Attachment B.

Agenda Report
________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City Council Action:
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Deputy Mayor Tracy Martinez and Councilmember John Spelich Prepared by Clem Brown, Assistant City Manager
DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: Appointment to the Air Pollution Control District Governing Board – District 3 REQUESTED ACTION/RECOMMENDATION:
Deputy Mayor Tracy Martinez and Councilmember John Spelich request that the City Council discuss and provide direction to Mayor Terry Gaasterland on the upcoming appointment to the District 3 seat on the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) Governing Board.
BACKGROUND:
The APCD is a government agency established in 1955 that strives to reduce air pollution within San Diego County. The APCD’s 11-member Governing Board sets the policy direction for the organization and consists of:
Two county supervisors
The mayor or a city councilmember at-large from the City of San Diego One city councilmember from each of the five county supervisorial districts Three members of the public, including:
o Physician or public health professional
o Environmental justice representative
o Individual with a scientific or technical background in air pollution In November 2024, the APCD requested that the County of San Diego’s City Selection Committee (CSC) make appointments to the five county supervisorial district seats for fouryear terms that will expire on March 9, 2025. The CSC consists of the mayors of all cities within County of San Diego with the purpose of appointing representatives to boards, commissions, and agencies, such as the APCD, as required by state law.
At the CSC’s meeting on January 13, 2025, the appointment to represent District 3 on the APCD, which includes the cities of Carlsbad, Coronado, Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego, and Solana Beach, was continued to the next meeting of the CSC because there were tie votes.
Del Mar Mayor Terry Gaasterland participated in the January 13, 2025, vote and cast her ballot for City of Coronado Mayor John Duncan along with Mayor Bruce Ehlers (City of 1 February 18, 2025 Item 10

The other three cities (Carlsbad, San Diego, and Solana Beach) voted for the other candidate, City of Carlsbad Councilmember Teresa Acosta, resulting in the tie vote and the continuance of the appointment to the next meeting. Both candidates presented a verbal summary of their qualifications for the position at the January 13, 2025, meeting that can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qyu4JqM4ifg.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The CSC will convene again to make the appointment to the APCD District 3 seat at a Special Meeting on March 10, 2025. The agenda packet for that meeting is included as Attachment A. To address the potential of another tie vote, County staff is proposing amendments to the CSC rules and regulations that would allow the full CSC to vote to resolve a tie, not just the cities represented by District 3. These proposed revisions would only apply to APCD appointments moving forward.
Deputy Mayor Tracy Martinez and Councilmember John Spelich request that the City Council discuss and provide direction to Mayor Terry Gaasterland on how the City should vote for the APCD District 3 appointment at the March 10, 2025, Special Meeting. A copy of the public comments received at the January 13, 2025, CSC meeting regarding the nominations for the five county supervisorial district seats to the APCD is included as Attachment B.

To the Mayors of County Supervisorial District 3,
We are very pleased to have the opportunity to provide our recommendation for the County District 3 seat on the San Diego Air Pollution Control District Governing Board. The coalition below, is made up of some of the leading non-profit and labor organizations in San Diego County advocating for cleaner, safer, and healthier communities. The organizations below share a common belief that all people regardless of zip code have the right to live, work and play in a clean and safe environment. According to the American Lung Associations 2024 State of the Air Report, San Diego County ranked 8 worst for high ozone days out of 228 metropolitan areas throughout the country.1
Unfortunately, residents throughout San Diego County, continue to suffer negative health impacts from exposure to harmful air pollutants. These conditions necessitate passionate and collaborative leadership at the Air Pollution Control District.
We write this letter today to respectfully request that you support Carlsbad Councilmember Teresa Acosta as the County District 3 representative on the San Diego Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD) Governing Board.
Teresa has critical prior experience in air quality — serving as an air quality consultant to governing board members in the South Coast Air Pollution Control District — which will enable her to hit the ground running and deliver results for our region. Teresa has also represented the city of Carlsbad at several regional organizations:
League of California Cities Environmental Quality Committee, Clean Energy Alliance, Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce, Encina Wastewater Authority, and North County Transit District (Alternate). Her experience combined with her commitment to improving air quality and preserving the environment make her an excellent fit for the SDAPCD.
Our organizations look forward to your support of Teresa Acosta to represent Carlsbad and County District 3 at APCD to reduce air pollution in San Diego.
Kindly,

The Honorable Mayor John Minto
Chair, City Selection Committee of the County of San Diego County Administration Building
1600 Pacific Highway, Room 402, San Diego, California 92101 Subject: Recommendations for Air Pollution Control District Appointments Dear Chair Minto,
The undersigned stakeholders represent a broad spectrum of pro-business organizations and advocates in San Diego County and respectfully submit our recommended slate of highly qualified candidates for appointment to the Air Pollution Control District (APCD) Governing Board. Each of these elected leaders has shown a strong understanding of the delicate balance of environmental issues and economic prosperity and has a deep respect for scientific data.
This group believes that the APCD will benefit from balanced leadership that ensures responsible air quality management for our region, while balancing the economic realities of our region. Given the scientific nature of the Governing Board, we believe it is critical to appoint leadership that prioritizes evidence-based decision making. Therefore, we submit the following names for your consideration:
Supervisorial District 1: Councilmember Mitch McKay – Imperial Beach - Councilmember McKay served as a representative of Imperial Beach to the United States International Boundary & Water Commission (IBWC) Citizen Forum Board prior to his election to the Imperial Beach City Council and currently serves on the Shoreline Preservation Working Group and SANDAG. During his time on the Council, he has proven to be a balanced voice and shown a deep understanding of the environmental issues facing Imperial Beach.
Supervisorial District 2: Councilmember Laura Koval – Santee - Councilmember Koval has served as the Director of Park and Recreation for Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve for over 10 years and represents the City of Santee on multiple Attachment B 39 February 18, 2025 Item 10
committees such as MTS, SANDAG, and the Stowe Trail Taskforce. Councilmember Koval has a proven knowledge of environmental issues including land, water, and air in East County.
Supervisorial District 3: Mayor John Duncan – Coronado
- Mayor John Duncan is an attorney with over 25 years of experience in complex business, finance, asset management and real estate law. In his prior role as a Councilmember, he demonstrated a fair and balanced approach to regional issues serving outside agencies including SANDAG and MTS. He also serves on the city's Transborder Sewage SubCommittee advocating for solutions to sewage flows that are contaminating the waters off Coronado, demonstrating both knowledge and passion for environmental related health issues that would be an asset to APCD.
Supervisorial District 4: Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell – San Diego - Councilmember Dr. Jennifer Campbell is an M.D., serving for many years as a Family Physician. She has experience as Chair of San Diego’s Environment Committee and led the creation of San Diego Community Power and serves on the San Diego River Conservancy Board. As a doctor, she is highly qualified to address environmental health issues with experience and data on the APCD Governing Board.
Supervisorial District 5: Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald – Escondido - Councilmember Judy Fitzgerald is a newly elected member of the Escondido City Council, but she has already shown her immense care for her community, serving as a businesswoman, law enforcement officer, and board member of the Escondido Chamber of Commerce. We believe Councilmember Fitzgerald would be a great community advocate.
We believe these candidates will be collaborative, responsible, and data driven as representatives to the APCD Governing Board. For these reasons, we respectfully ask the Committee to consider our recommended slate of candidates when making appointments. Should you require any further information, please reach out to Justine Murray, Executive Director of Public Affairs at the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, at [email protected].
