The CUSD board puts off a Wavecrest deadline decision

Cabrillo Unified School District (CUSD) board took no action on the deadline for Wavecrest at their secret meeting last Thursday. Despite rumors that the board has extended the deadline for Wavecrest to get its approvals, board member Dwight Wilson told me that they discussed the contract, instructed their attorney to look into the matter and took no action.  He says they’re waiting to see what the US Fish and Wildlife Service is going to do. 

The current contract with Wavecrest says the developer must obtain final approval of the development from the Coastal Commission and all challenges and appeals before the CCC must have have expired before October 31. If not, the district has the option of cancelling its agreement to swap its land in El Granada plus some cash for a school site at Wavecrest. Wavecrest has been removed from the agenda for the September 8 meeting of the Coastal Commission at the request of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the next CCC meeting is October 13 to 15 in San Diego. The next School Board meeting, the last before the election, is not scheduled until October 14.
