INTRODUCTION
SRCA President Marc Sorensen called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Marc announced that Mrs.Gaye Dingeman has obtained the addresses of all SRCA members who lost their homes. We will send a personal note to each family on behalf of the SRCA. The board which will administer the Fire Fund is being set up. This board will brief the SRCA on their actions. Project Phoenix, a committee of the SRCA, will arrange for companies to help in the rebuilding process, but each home owner will be free to make his or her own decisions. It will be at least 2 years to complete the re-building.
Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi will be in Scripps Ranch November 12 at St. Gregory the Great. Greg Minter and Gloria Tran will interview him for the Newsletter.

REPORTS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
A. Councilman Brian Maienschein reported that we are involved in the most massive rebuilding in San Diego history and we have made a good start. The “one stop shop” set up at the Rec Center is working well and two of his staff will be present as long as necessary (tentatively 60 more days). 41 homes have still not been through the center. The barricades protecting the area south of Pomerado Road will be removed November 12, but will be reinstated if problems develop. Police patrols will continue as long as necessary. There is a vote necessary to insure that Permit Fees will be waived for all homes being re-built (Passed). The city is also working to waive dumping fees.
B. Jim Jackson, from State Assemblywoman Dede Alpert’s office reported that
Fire Chief Bowman and Ms. Alpert toured Scripps Ranch after the fire. Assemblywoman Alpert checked that state service representatives were available at the Rec Center. She arranged to have a DMV representative present. Mr. Jackson reported the Insurance Commissioner Garamendi will be available in the next few months when insurance disputes will begin to arise.

REPORTS AND ACTION ITEMS FROM COMMITTEE CHAIRS
A. SRCA President Marc Sorensen introduced Lori Pearce. Lori is a 22 year SR resident who is proposing to spearhead a fund raiser on behalf of the SRCA Fire Relief Fund. She intends this function to be a dinner, dance and silent auction to be held late January or early February. Marc Sorensen proposed a motion that Jany Staley, Wendy Littooy, Victoria Mazelli and Shannon Alatorre form a special committee to evaluate this idea and report to the Project Phoenix treasurer. This motion was seconded by Peter Wulff and passed unanimously.
B. Recognition Night-SRCA President Marc Sorensen proposed a motion to make the December Recognition Night an evening to honor the heroes of the fire and after-fire, with the Fire Fighters and Police Department receiving the “Citizen of the Year” award. The motion was seconded by Peter Wulff and passed unanimously. The SRCA recognition Night will be in February. Dorothy Mildice will chair each celebration.
C. SRPG-Bob Ilko reported that Chabad is moving forward with their plans to build 350 condominiums on their property. Western Pacific is also moving forward with their plans for 837 units (condominiums, and apartments for senior living). The conditional use permit for AIU will be issued by year end. The SRPG feels that both the Chabad and Western Pacific projects will be difficult proceed with. The AIU issue will involve the issue of traffic being generated by 5200 students.
A stop sign has been installed at the intersection of Cypress Canyon Drive and Cypress Terrace.
D. MRNPC-Bill Bernard reported that the committee feels that Scripps Ranch
should be receiving some of the rent paid to the city for the water tanks in
MRN and they are pursuing this issue. The stop sign on Spruce Run Drive has been approved and has been sent to the city. They want to beautify the area around the pumping station. MRN funds with the city have been safeguarded.
E. Fire Relief Fund-Peter Wulff reported the law firm of Cooley Godward is working pro bono to establish the Fire Relief Fund as a separate company with a 501C3 status. The Articles of Incorporation are finished and hopefully, the process will be complete in 5-7 weeks. Disbursement of funds cannot occur until the 501C3 is in place. The SRCA will write letters to Representatives Duncan Hunter and Randy Cunningham urging their help in expediting this matter. The Fire Relief Committee will consist of Officers and a Board of Directors. The Distribution Committee will report to the Board of Directors. Copies of the legal opinion were distributed to all Directors.
F. Project Phoenix-The Old Pros and others have been filling sand bags which will help in erosion control this winter. Clint Carney form Councilman Maienschein’s office has arranged to have all brow ditches covered. SRCA representatives at the Rec Center will be available 9 am-7 pm weekdays, 9 am-4 pm Saturdays and 9 am-4 pm for the next two Sundays only, after which the facility will be closed on Sundays. It was suggested that the San Diego Foundation or a FEMA grant may be available to the community and this is being pursued. The committee is also asking for any information regarding veterans who lost medals and ribbons and this information will be forwarded to Congressman Duncan Hunter.
The make-up of Project Phoenix is outlined in a hand out in the Master File. Bob Dingeman proposed a motion to accept Project Phoenix as a SRCA Committee with the understanding that further areas of action may be added to their purview. This motion was seconded by Jack Little and passed unanimously.
G. District Director Andy Neshat reported that with the help of Intel, a wireless network and hard wired PC’s have been set up at the Information Center. There is also the possibility of 3 laptop computers being donated. The information about this service will be in the Newsletter and will be circulated to all SRCA members via e-mail.

I. Holiday Celebration- Bob Dingeman reported that the Holiday Celebration will be held December 14 at 4:00 p.m. at Jerabek Park. Everything is ready.
J. After Action Report-The SRCA needs a volunteer to assemble the data.
K. Community History-District Director Larry Nuffer has volunteered to co-ordinate this effort. A professional photographer will work on assembling a photo journal and the local television stations will each submit a summary of their coverage.
L. LMD-Bob Dingeman reported that clearing of trees is proceeding along Pomerado Road and next week clearing will begin behind residents’ homes. $250,000 of LMD funds is being used for this. We will ask the city to reimburse these funds.
M. A representative of the Diamond Gateway Chamber of Commerce representing about 300, mostly small businesses, in Scripps Ranch, Miramar, Carmel Mountain, Saber Springs and Sorrento Valley addressed the SRCA.

WELCOME
SRCA President Marc Sorensen called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. He extended a gracious thank you to Greg Minter, Gloria Tran, Bob Dingeman and Bob Ilko for all the time and effort they have given to the community in the days since the fire. SRCA long term plans should include tree clearing in open space, brush management and emergency procedures. Marc introduced Project Phoenix, which has been formed within Scripps Ranch, to aid the residents who lost their homes in all aspects of the rebuilding process. Marc also expressed a desire for Bob Cavanagh to set up an emergency communication center at the Information Center with the cell phone numbers of all key SRCA members. In emergencies, this would become the command center for the SRCA. The Fire Relief Fund has opened a bank account and Peter Wulff is leading a committee charged with obtaining a 501C3 status for the Fire Relief Fund.
Dennis Downs will be the liason between the SRCA and the Old Pros.

PROJECT PHOENIX
Marc Sorensen introduced Mike Asaro as the team leader on the Contractor Team of Project Phoenix. Mike met today with demolition contractors. He suggests one large contractor with the administrative staff to oversee demolition. This contractor would sub the work to smaller companies in order to ensure a fast and efficient clearing of as many sites as possible. The question debated was how to propose this to home owners without indemnifying the SRCA. The SRCA could issue a letter to homeowners outlining the known facts as one option they may wish to explore. The contractors may also wish to present their own case to the community.
Mike stated that their mid-term goals would be to re-enforce the idea that there is no need to panic. There is time to make decisions and move forward. The committee will have flow charts outlining the necessary steps to complete the process.
The SRPG needs to have available a list of zoning restrictions.
Greg Minter reported that there are still some families who have not registered with the SRCA. Marc Sorensen suggested the SRCA send a supportive letter to all affected families urging their registration and an e-letter to SRCA members encouraging registration. FEMA registration will also be urged.
A privacy policy and terms of use are being posted on the SRCA web site.

There being no further business, SRCA President Marc Sorensen adjourned the meeting at 9:20 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Bob Dingeman, SRCA Secretary

INTRODUCTION
SRCA Vice President Gordon Boerner called the meeting to order at 7:15.

REPORTS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
A. Clint Carney, from Councilman Brian Maienschein’s office, reported that there is no new information concerning the Miramar Lake dam. There will be a gate erected at the entrance to the Community Park. The gate will be open from 6:30 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. each day. Completion is expected by year’s end. There are several issues of importance to Scripps Ranch that the Council office is working on: (1) The rifle range at MAS Miramar, (2) The unavailability of funds to pay for dumpsters for our Clean Up Day, (3) The unwillingness of the city to pay for our Christmas Tree recycling program, (4) A new sign for the entrance to Miramar Lake, and (5) New trees to replace trees planted by the Mayor that have since died.
Christine Mallay from Councilman Maienschein’s office reported that the Councilman is vehemently opposed to the use of any current military sites for a new San Diego airport. Bob Ilko suggested that a letter be drafted on behalf of the SRCA, SRPG and MRNPC stating the community’s opposition to the conversion of Miramar to a commercial airport. Christine reported that a 3-way stop sign has been installed at the corner of Scripps Creek and Wills Creek . The city is working on a draft of a “used car ordinance” that will affect streets such as Aviary Drive which have become used car lots. Brian Maienschein will meet with Scripps Ranch constituents on Wednesday November 19 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Library.
B. SDPD Officer Steve Higuera reported that local traffic enforcement officers have been enforcing the 72 hour parking law on Aviary Drive. He again encouraged all residents to report any unauthorized activity in our local parks.
C. Aaron Pottichen, from Assemblyman George Plescia’s office , reported that the Assemblyman remains opposed to the conversion of Miarmar MAS to an international airport. He urged all residents to make their position known to our elected officials.
D. Joe Sheffo, from Supervisor Pam Slater’s office, reported that the Supervisor was instrumental in re-establishing the county-wide hot line for victims of domestic abuse. The number is 1-888-DVLINKS. SRCA Directors urged Supervisor Slater to publicly state her position regarding the possibility of MAS Miramar being transformed into a commercial airport.

REPORTS FROM SRCA COMMITTEES
A. SRCA VP Gordon Boerner reported that, through the efforts of Clint Carney from Councilman Maienschein’s office, Rec Council President Marc Sorensen and SRCA Secretary Bob Dingeman, the city has realized that Scripps Ranch is short many acres of park land. If special park funds are available to develop 3 softball fields at the new middle school, the city will maintain these facilities. There will be a community meeting at the new middle school site on October 14 from 4-5:30 p.m. Construction of rest room facilities at Lakeview Park has not begun.
B. SRCA Treasurer Brian Allman presented the new budget. He reported 3 changes form last year; increased insurance premiums, increased costs for clean-up day, and an increase for Eagle Scout projects. Jany Staley reported that there may be increased costs associated with staffing for the 4th of July next year. Christine Millay from Councilman Maienschein’s office will investigate this. Bob Dingeman will investigate alternatives for SRCA storage facilities. Gordon Boerner proposed a motion to accept the budget as presented. The motion was seconded by Claude Braunstein and passed unanimously.
C. Dorothy Mildice attended the recent Community Leaders Forum at MAS Miramar. The new airport is the biggest issue. Her full report is in the Master File. Dorothy also handed out applications for Recognition Night and urged a timely response.
D. Clean –Up Day-Bill Bernard reported that all arrangements have been made.
E. Community Leader’s Forum- Elissa Barber reported that this will be October 23 at 7:00 p.m. at the Information Center. Invitations have been sent out. Councilman Maienschein and SDPD Chief Lansdowne will attend.
F. Community Fair- SRCA Treasurer Brian Allman has a current copy of vendors, services and costs incurred last year.
G. LMD-Bob Dingeman reported that there is a program in operation to remove dead trees and to clear brow ditches.
H. Traffic-Gordon Boerner reported that the flow through lane on Pomerado Road at I-15 is of concern at this time. SRCA Traffic Committee members will meet with Clint Carney, Christine Millay and city traffic engineers once a month to discuss Scripps Ranch concerns.
I. Schools Committee- Elissa Barber reported that Bob Ilko and Mike Hoffer will be the new co-chairs. There will be updates on Marshall Middle School and discussion concerning one topic of interest at each meeting. These topics will include common schedules, bell times, and increased pressure at the high school level. The next meeting will be October 21 at 4:00 p.m. at the Library. Elementary school principals will soon meet with middle school principals and middle school principals will then meet with the high school principal to discuss any common problems.
J. SRPG-Bob Ilko reported that Chabad may apply for a Community Plan amendment to build 350 senior housing units on their property. A cellular antenna may go up on the Renzulli property. Western Pacific housing has bought the US Federal Credit Union building on Erma Road and may develop multi-family and retail units on the property.
K. District 11 Director Jany Staley reviewed SDG & E plans for burying the existing major power lines on Scripps Lake Drive and Scripps Ranch Blvd. Work will start at MR Elementary School during the Christmas holidays to minimize the impact on the school. SDG & E will use the existing easement through the school parking lot and play area for this section. Along Scripps Ranch Blvd. the buried power lines will follow the south side of the road and SDG & E will resurface as needed away from the proposed median.

Bob Dingeman will package and mail copies of all handouts to District Directors absent at this meeting.

INTRODUCTION
SRCA President Marc Sorensen called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Marc reported that grading for Overview park is now underway and completion is scheduled for the end of the year. Grading is also underway for Rancho Encatada. Associated with this development there will be improvements made to Pomerado Road; turn lanes and acceleration lanes will be added at the entrance to the development. There are no plans for major widening of Pomerado Road as space is limited.
Marc reported that the local Paintball Club’s announcements will no longer be included in the Newsletter with other non-profit organizations. Marc also referred to an ad placed in the August Newsletter on behalf of Scripps Ranch Home Care. He received telephone calls asking the Newsletter to no longer run ads for this business because local residents have court action pending against this home. The policy is, if a company has a City issued business license to operate, then the Newsletter will accept their advertisement.
Marc has received no negative response regarding the naming of J-9 at Jerabek Park in memory of Steve Allen, so the SRCA will support this action. Marc also reported that there has been no word from the City on the joint use and maintenance of fields at the new middle school, but he will schedule a meeting with Park & Rec personnel this month.
Marc reported that the new city budget contained funding for operating our Rec Center and keeping it open 48 hours/week. There is a Pre-school that uses our Rec Center and the city has said this school must fund an employee for 3 hours each morning. Scripps Ranch Park & Rec is looking into this matter. The hours of operation appear to be standard for similar city parks. Our center has been well used up to now and is a source of income for the Rec Council. Impact not known.

REPORTS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
A. Christine Millay from 5th District Councilman Brian Maienshein’s office introduced herself. She is a new staff member and can be reached at 619-236-7020.
B. Joe Sheffo from County Supervisor Pam Slater’s office reported that the HOV lanes on I-15 will be open for a 9 month trial. The first 3 months traffic will be south bound, the next 3 months traffic will be north bound and the final 3 months there will be a week day schedule.

There was no report from the Mayor’s office or from other elected officials.

C. SDPD Officer Steve Higuera was asked to pass along community concerns about the speeding of traffic on Scripps Creek Drive and Spring Canyon Drive and the need for surveillance. He was also asked to review the Traffic Safety Plans for school opening on September 2.

REPORTS OF MAJOR ACTIVITIES
A. SRPG-Bob Ilko reported that there will be a letter sent by the Planning Groups regarding the DEIS for military housing. There is a misperception that if the site in Tierrasanta is developed that there will be no further need for housing. The Navy has stated that they will need all three housing sites and all could be developed if funds are secured. When this will be is not clear. Bill Bernard proposed a motion that the SRCA support the Planning Groups responses to the DEIS. This was seconded by Peter Wulff and passed unanimously. Bob Dingeman will prepare a forwarding letter to the Navy for the President’s signature. This letter will emphasize the major concerns in the comment letter.
B. MRNPC-Bill Bernard reported that the Overlook project is starting. Construction will be finished by year end, but with grass seeding the park will not be available for use until March ’04. The SRCA strongly suggested that the MRNPC push for sod rather than seeding.
C. COMMUNITY LEADERS MEETING- Elissa Barber is looking for a meeting in late September or early October. It will be a week night, 7-9 p.m. at the Information Center or Library and there will be finger food and drinks available. Marc Sorensen suggested checking to verify that Councilman Maienshein can attend.
D. CLEAN UP DAY-The fall Clean Up Day will be October 18 from 8-noon. Bill Bernard will try to find volunteers to man dumpsters located at the Information Center. We have been unable to secure a sponsor for the fall garage sale and hope to announce it in the Newsletter.
E. GRAFFITI BUSTERS- Bob Dingeman reported that Awilda Parada and Joyce Berzle have volunteered to take over this activity. There will be an information and training session for volunteers in September.
F. LMD-Bob Dingeman reported that construction of a permanent restroom facility at Lakeview Park has finally gotten through Planning. Construction will commence in October and last for two months. We are still trying to get accurate figures on the total entitled park acreages for all of Scripps Ranch and will continue to pursue this with Deborah Sharpe and Ann Hix of the Park & Rec department.
G. SCHOOLS COMMITTEE- The organizational meeting of the committee will be held at 4:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 16 in the seminar room of the library, under new co-chairs Mike Hoffer and Bob Ilko. The committee will be briefed on where the SDUSD is in the bidding process for the new middle school, in the actual student count for the new enrollments in our schools and also on the status of the under funding for the school facilities.
H. TRAFFIC-Larry Nuffer is working on a traffic survey for Pomerado Road.
I. MEMBERSHIP- The new chairman is Tim Clarke. He will report to the SRCA Treasurer Brian Allman.
J. RECOGNITION NIGHT- Dorothy Mildice would like all recommendations by 11/9. Marc Sorensen suggested that each District Representative nominate one “unsung hero” from their District.

All were reminded that the September meeting is designated as the SRCA annual business meeting. Recommendations for activities or inclusions in the budget should be ready for submission at that time.

There being no further business, SRCA President Marc Sorensen adjourned the meeting at 8:40 p.m.

REPORTS FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS
A. SDPD Officer Steve Higuera reported that car prowls are an on-going problem in the area. He reported that the Graffiti Task Force has made a couple of arrests of local taggers. He encouraged residents to take pictures of any graffiti and then call the Police Department to report it. SRCA President Marc Sorensen reported that Spring Canyon Park and Jerabek Park have both been recently damaged by vehicles. Officer Higuera urged residents to report any such incidents. Officer Higuera also reminded residents that the SDPD is in the process of choosing a new Police Chief. The SRCA Board and all San Diego residents can endorse their candidate by sending a letter to the City Manager.
B. Joe Sheffo from County Supervisor Pam Slater’s office reported that on Saturday May 17 at the County Administration Building, residents will be able to trade in old gas grass mowers for new electric models for $150.
C. Clint Carney from 5th District councilman Brian Maienshein’s office reported that all city departments are now involved in budgeting for the next fiscal year. The budget review schedule is in the Master File. All branch libraries will be closed on Sundays, but there is a proposal that City Coucil allow one library in each District to be open on Sunday. The Community Service Center will be open ½ days starting in July. Development plans for Overlook Park have been put out to bid and park completion is the end of this year. The dam at Miramar Lake will be open again this year for the 4th of July race. The status of the dam after that is still unknown.

REPORTS FROM CHAIRS OF SRCA ACTIVITIES
A. Finance Ad Hoc Committee-Peter Wulff reported that the work of Design Task Force is almost done. The Task Force is still trying to balance the size of the school and the scope of programs that will be offered with the present budget constaints. The availability of $5 million of community funds to aid in construction will be removed from school reports.
B. Rec Council-President Marc Sorensen addressed the question of joint use fields at the new middle school. The Rec Council can determine the status of this construction and then make recommendations to the community.
C. Clean Up Day- Claude Braunstein reported that the day was a success, but the specific sites of the dumpsters needs to be published in the Newsletter.
D. Community Fair-Bev Cassity reported that the Fair will be bigger this year but the cost to the SRCA should be less. She will prepare an action report for the next SRCA meeting.
E. Membership-Bob Gravina reported that the membership drive is going well. There will be a table at the Community Fair and in Hoyt Park at the 4th of July. The committee will now concentrate on increasing corporate membership.
F. 4th of July-Jany Staley’s report is in the Master File. The committee is looking for a co-sponsor for the band.
G. MRNPC-Peggy Shirey reported that Awilda Parada is now an elected member of the MRNPC. The Water Department made a presentation at the last meeting regarding the use of reclaimed water for landscape irrigation. The purple fixtures near community roadways are for this purpose but Scripps Ranch is not plumbed to hook up to this network. The cost of this retro-fit is not known.
H. SRPG- Gordon Boerner reported that the issue of the Dog Park is continuing. This park may constitute a fenced area on top of the water tank in the Business Park. There is still a question of fencing cost and maintenance of the area once it is finished. Gordon also reported that the SRPG is working on the development south of Pomerado Road to include traffic issues with respect to the new middle school.
I. Schools Committee-Elissa Barber reported that pressure in local elementary schools is easing. EBS will be over crowded in the fall but Dingeman will not be full. Students entering EBS in the fall will have the choice of attending either EBS or Dingeman Elementary.

SRCA Treasurer Brian Allman proposed a motion that the SRCA write a letter to San Diego City Manager endorsing Captain Goodrich for the position of San Diego Police Chief. This motion was seconded by Larry Nuffer and passed unanimously.

There being no further business, SRCA President Marc Sorensen adjourned the meeting at 8:35 p.m.
