Subcommittee to Meet Monday to Draft 'Encinitas Right to Vote Amendment' Counterargument

Members of the public may speak at the 10 a.m. Monday meeting at the Civic Center's Poinsettia Room.

A subcommittee of the Encinitas City Council—composed as Mayor Teresa Barth and Councilmember Kristing Gaspar—will meet Monday morning to draft an argument against “The Encinitas Right to Vote Amendment.”

The initiative would require a majority vote to major amendment of a planning policy document. Such amendments would include certain changes in zone types, increases in heights and increases of the amount of parcels on an existing parcel.

In order for the initiative to go to the voters, the ballot would need an argument against the measure. The wording will be presented to the City Council on March 27.

Speakers will have three minutes to speak at Monday’s meeting. It will be held at 10 a.m. at the Poinsettia Room, Civic Center 505 South Vulcan Ave.

Took this class before a trip to Italy. Very fun and was able to learn quickly with the way theRead More class was taught. Great instructor and wonderful insights. You will enjoy it if you ever wanted to learn Italian. Caio!

This is wonderful news. Congratulations to the students, their instructors and Academy staffRead More members -- and to the supportive parents. A theatre education is the best!

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

That may very well have been part of it. Grandma had an affinity for liquor as well, but grandpaRead More hated alcohol with a passion and wouldn't allow a single drop of it in the house. Sometimes the man's leadership is essential.

Aunt Judy was probably a very lonely person and turned to comfort in a bottle. What a darn shame.

And you know what ladies, if you don't like Batman's way you don't have to do it Batman's way. ThisRead More is America, not Batmerica, and it's not Flanderstan either. My grandmother's sister decided to become a career woman instead of geting married and having a family. She started and ran a very successful accounting business, back in the 1930s! So who needs Flanders and his women's lib? There's nothing standing in your way, there never has been. Flanders and the rest are lying to you. Aunt Judy did become an alcoholic though and died rather young because of it. Would that have been different if she had been a family woman? Nobody knows.
