SD CITY COUNCIL MEETING!!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 10-07-2009, 04:08 PM

I was there for 2 hours, and my 9 month old daughter could not take anymore, waiting to speak. But I did fill out an "oppose" form, and turn in my statement. They started calling fisherment an hour after I left. Good to see fellow fishermen there!

Council member Carl DeMaio stated that he had to leave early, but is "Standing with the fishermen on this issue"

PLEASE SEND HIM A THANK YOU email, and to support WG 2.

Marti Emerald to Coast Keeper, "you failed in your presentation, you used Teddy Roosevelt in your presentation, he was a sportsman, hunter, and fisherman. I cannot support your proposal."

Lightner capitulates with Emerald, and is concerned about the "no take, and contraints in the reserve."

PLEASE EMAIL Thank these people, & give your support to 2!

Carl DeMaio left early with the statement the San Diego City Council should side with the fishermen and support closures that are in the fisherman's best interest. He went on to say we have already lost too many jobs and too many industries and we should not lose our legacy.

Marti Emerald also lectured the coastkeepers about trying to sidestep the process at the last minute with basically BS data (she used a some bigger words

) She also rebutted their National Park argument by saying they are all set up for the people to use, enjoy and maintain.

They also all seemed to express not being happy hearing about these closures so late in the game.

Everyone who spoke did an excellent job. I'm home having a beer to celebrate this small victory in the large scale of things. I think Donna Frye did an excellent job running the meeting as well.

Billy closed the deal after Tommy Gomes and John from Oceanside spoke for us. Marti Emerald mentioned that Coastkeeper tried to push something through that wasn't well documented but that she had printed materials with data from reputable sources from Billy. My representative Sherri Lightner said "ditto to that". I didn't get to speak but I was definitely OK with how Donna Frye managed the meeting.

I feel really bad but I just could not make this one, and I have made a lot of these meetings taking my own vacation time off work. So sorry guys for not making it. I am glad there were enough guys to cover.
