Wulfeck is Chair for another 2 years; SRPG voted to recommend City Council not certify the Pure Water EIR until all pipe routing alternatives are fully vetted – City Council voted unanimously to certify it today – we may get 60 additional parking spaces at Lake Miramar from it – City is in a hurry because $500M may go away if they don’t approve it; looks like we will get Library parking lot expanded.
