City responds to SDMGA's challenge on GAC approval of the Torrey Pines projects
City Staff member Kevin Oliver's stated position on the Torrey Pines projects is that all references to the clubhouse, made either at the Commission meeting last week, or in these e-mails, are moot points....
Please read the response to Kevin Oliver's letter from Linda Colley, Chair UCPG, (click here) and the SDMGA response (click here).

Paul, I think the "words to that effect" would be that the Golf Advisory Committee approved the Conceptual Design on September 29, 2005. The University Planning Group rescinded their previous approval of the concept on the basis of assumption of a future funding source that had not yet been approved (I don't have that date in front of me). The City Council approved the 5 year business plan in June of 2006. I personally think that all references to the clubhouse, made either at the Commission meeting last week, or in these e-mails, are moot points, given that the 5 business plan has been approved by Council and is currently being implemented, the clubhouse portion of the project is not currently up for review, and that the Phase 1 portion of the project was approved by the Commission.
I'm just curious, can you tell me how many times since the group has been formed the SDMGA has met to inform the members of the current status of City golf course projects ? And are there minutes for those meetings? I'd like to be informed of the group's discussions and actions so that we can be proactive on the various projects that we have in the works City wide. Also I'd like to be on the mailing list for the monthly newsletter.
Thanks.
