OK, Here We Go Again...

TIME TO GET BACK AT IT
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  As you could tell, we let the old Cauldron simmer a little while we took some much-needed down time with family and friends for the holiday.  But now we're back and ready for another week full of interesting, important stuff.  Here's what's coming up in Costa Mesa...

General Plan EIR Scoping Meeting, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. in City Council Chambers
This very important meeting is the next step in the updating of the General Plan, which guides the physical development of our city for the next decade.  You can read about the process HERE, and about this specific meeting HERE.  Please note that, although the location on that link indicates this meeting is scheduled for the Emergency Operations Center, that has CHANGED, and the meeting will be held in City Council Chambers.  I do not know if it will be televised live or not.  Take a look at the exhibits included in that second link, and the list of items of focus.

City Council Meeting, 5:45 p.m. in City Council Chambers.
The agenda, HERE, for this meeting appears to be brief, but there are very important items to be discussed.  I'll cover those in a separate entry Monday afternoon.  If you want to get a head start, notice the Consent Calendar items that will commit nearly another million dollars to consulting services and New Business #1, the development at Bernard and Charle Streets, in particular.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2015
Bikeway & Walkability Committee Meeting, 6:30 p.m., Costa Mesa Senior Center
I'll write more about this meeting later, but you can read the agenda HERE.  This committee will fine-tune their Goals, Objectives, Policies/Programs for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
