Courtesy of SHERRI LIGHTNER, City Council, District 1:
It is hard to believe that November is here and yet there is so much to do before the end of the year. Here are some important University City updates.
Unfortunately, the Swanson Pool experienced some unscheduled closures during the month of September caused by some filtration problems. In light of this, my staff followed up with the Park and Recreation Department to request that the hours of operation be extended next spring. The request was approved; the pool will close on January 9, 2017 and reopen on March 20, 2017, a month earlier than previously planned.
I am very pleased to announce that the U.S. Post Office located at the Shops at La Jolla Village, behind the Whole Foods off Nobel Drive, will continue its operations at a new space within the same shopping center. Our office worked with the Development Services Department and the property owner to ensure that the post office could remain after the remodel threatened to displace it without a new home. As a result of the negotiations, the post office will stay open at the current location during construction until the new space is completed early next year.
The City Council is scheduled to have a discussion on Short Term Vacation Rentals in the single-family zone on November 1, 2016 at 10:00am in Golden Hall. My office is partnering with Councilmember Lorie Zapf and the City Attorney regarding this important issue. We look forward to your feedback.
Lastly, those who are registered to vote should have received two different sample ballots with all the information about the city candidates and city ballot measures, along with an additional third sample ballot from the State with all the information about the state propositions. Be sure to cast your vote!
