Sorry for the late notice but I now have to cancel tomorrow nights meeting of the MCC Planning and Building Committee due to lack of venue for Tuesday evening. GSD will NOT be available. We will reschedule shortly. Anyone interested in this committee please contact me.

Fire safety concerns for properties bordering open spaces in the Midcoast

September 16, 2011
Kathryn, the speaker you are referring to is Brady Logan from Montara. And we really need to thank Merideth Lamont from Clipper Ridge who got our attention and did most of the research on this. And there were others who also contributed from the Northern Coastal Communities Association who have been working hard to keep the impacts of Rancho Corral de Tierra from negatively impacting the MidCoast residents. But this is only a step in a process that will continue with all the named agencies and community…

Latest update: Just heard back from CFPD and they will also be in attendance. So all the major stakeholders should be represented. It could be a full house so plan accordingly. Thanks.

Fire safety concerns for properties bordering open spaces in the Midcoast

Risa, for some reason I keep doing that. Thanks for keeping me honest. BTW, so far we have POST, CUSD, GGNRA but no Fire. But I will continue to try.

Also CUSD and GGNRA will be there. Still nothing from Cal Fire or CFPD but I am working on it.

Sheriff’s report, August 29

September 01, 2011
Is this just another way of trying to make New Jersey look better by filming parts of their episodes on California's beautiful coast. I don't want to pick on NJ too much right now because of all the hurricane Irene damage they are suffering from, but this was probably planned long before that.

The Nascent Financial Crisis at Coastside Fire

August 20, 2011
Thanks Vince for alerting the community to the CFPD Board's Special Meeting this week. One always has to be suspicious when meetings are not televised and the public is not given adequate notice. After reading in the HMB Review this week about the consolidation of the coastside's water and sewer districts and the spin that it will make everything better, one needs to ask the question, "What can go wrong"? And here is an example of the downside. Consolidation only saves the public money and provides…

UPDATE NPS GGNRA Senior Planner Brian Aviles and another GGNRA employee will be in attendance at the meeting to update us on RCdT status.

Montara hosts big-name Tea Party fundraiser

March 25, 2011
I wish I had know earlier so I could have organized a "welcoming committee". Here is a little article on "Sheriff Joe" which will give people a flavor of his idea of "justice". ARTICLE: http://www.kpho.com/news/27272012/detail.html VIDEO: Steven Seagal, Sheriff Raid Valley Home In Tank http://www.kpho.com/local-video/index.html?grabnetworks_video_id=4600221 I guess the Tea Party is ok with spending money on tanks for SWAT teams to bust up chicken fights but not on paying teacher's salaries.

GGNRA Dog Management Open House in Pacifica on Wednesday

I forgot to add another good reference source for coastside dog people to get more information on GGNRA Dog Management. Go to http://www.montaradogs.com/Site/GGNRA.html

MCC committee on Rancho Corral de Tierra, Monday, Feb 21

February 20, 2011
Thanks. I knew that but my brain short circuited and I concatenated Coral Reef Ave with Clipper Ridge and didn't catch it. And the extra 'r' was just And, yes it is short notice but I sent out three dates (2/21, 2/25 and 2/28) to those people who had already sent me their email addresses because I can only get the room on Monday or Friday. Of those who responded 2/21 was the favorite. I guess people want to get moving on this and there will be more meetings in the future. I look forward to your participation.

Montara Residents Needed for Corral de Tiera Subcommittee

January 08, 2011
Martha, Thanks for asking. I have had a few new sign ups but could use more especially from the Montara area (Le Conte street portal). GGNRA site: http://www.nps.gov/goga/rcdt.htm

Jay at Mavericks safety meeting postponed

December 20, 2010
Director McShane, I wish I had heard before hand that CFPD was going to discuss safety plans for the Maverick last Friday. Was it opened to the public? Is there a published plan that one could review? Is it on the web (I hope)? I, for one, was disappointed that the Thursday meeting was cancelled and it has been almost a year without the publics questions being addressed in an open forum.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It always amazes me how CalTran has to cut such a wide swath through the natural terrain. But since this is already done maybe they can use it as a parking lot for the GGNRA Rancho Corral de Tierra north portal access instead of going through the residential neighborhood of Montara by Farralone Elementary School!

Jay at Mavericks safety meeting postponed

December 15, 2010
First, let me say that the Maverick Surf Contest is a unique asset to our coastal community and I would like to see it continue. But it needs to be better organized for the safety and convenience of both the local residents and coast side visitors. Last year was a complete disaster and this meeting needs to present a plan for the anticipated crowds that show up. The following are comments I sent to Supervisor Gordon's office after last year's event which will highlight some of the issues. "On the…

Montara Water Rate Hikes Unfair to Families

October 11, 2010
Barry you are not the first one to bring up the fairness of basing the charge on the number of people per household. So stating the reason for the proposed new rate tiers is to help promote conservation seems a little absurd. People can conserve by limiting their individual consumption but the metrics are currently based only on the connection which then makes it impossible to see who is conserving and who is not (this by the way answers your question "is it possible" to determine per person usage…
