Wake Up, Speak Up
I don't believe that it is customary to post notices of public meetings in parks without a recreation center like Kate Sessions Neighborhood Park. The meetings are posted at the recreation center. Someone on either side would and probably did remove notices from a site where staff is not present to assist the public. Those who really want to know generally follow an issue for a long time and are not left in the dark. The City has no investment in keeping meeting times hidden as far as I know. For groups like Town Councils and other non official City groups I do not know how they publicize their meetings in a City wide sense.— April 19, 2010 6:09 p.m.

The reality is that there is no time which fits all in terms of public meetings. As vintage wisely stated if the proposed alcohol ban for Kate Sessions Neighborhood Park is important to you, you need to make time for the next noticed meeting. However, I did read that the item may be on the agenda. It is not certain at this point. Also, there are other future meetings to attend so this is not the final meeting with the final say. It is a process.— April 19, 2010 6:03 p.m.

Would it be possible to get an appointment ? I think in some instances you can do this.— April 19, 2010 1:17 p.m.

What times would citizens find convenient to attend public meetings ?— April 19, 2010 1:12 p.m.

The City Council and the Council Committees start at 10 am and then resume at 2 pm. The Planning Commission also meets during the day. I am guessing the times have something to do with keeping public buildings open. After hours meetings probably cost more money for the City which we all know is broke. From the looks of things on Channel 24 (live feed for City Council and other meetings) where there is a will, there is a way. People attend if the issue is that important to them. The trolley is a good way to go as it drops a person directly off in from of the City Administration Building where the hearings are held.— April 19, 2010 1:07 p.m.

Park and Recreation Board is meeting at 2 pm and may hear the Kate Sessions Neighborhood Park agenda item. See post #196 for further details. Then the matter will go to a Council Committee and on to the full City Council for a binding vote. It would be difficult to schedule any public meeting at at time convenient for every citizen.— April 19, 2010 12:11 p.m.

From the sannet.gov site : San Diego Park & Recreation Board The Park & Recreation Board was chartered by the City Council under Municipal Code Section 26.30 to serve as an advisory board on matters relating to the acquisition, development, maintenance and operation of parks, beaches and recreation properties and facilities. The Board consists of eleven members who serve without compensation. Appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, the members serve two year terms, for a maximum of eight years. The Park and Recreation Director serves as Secretary to the Board. The Board meets the third Thursday of the month, 2:00 p.m. in the Council Committee Room of the City Administration Building located at 202 C Street. Questions about The Park and Recreation Board can be directed to Board Staff at 619-525-8213.— April 17, 2010 10:21 a.m.

I do not know if the May agenda of the Park and Recreation Board, an advisory body composed of citizens nominated by the Mayor and appointed by the City Council, will include the proposal for the 24 hour alcohol ban at Kate Sessions Neighborhood Park. Interested parties should check the Park and Recreation site at sannet.gov. I believe that the agenda for the Park and Recreation Board is posted, in accordance with the Brown Act, 72 hours before the meeting on this site. Proper noticing by City staff allows all persons time to consider the agenda items and decide if one wants to participate in the process. One could also check at their local recreation center or call their council representative.— April 17, 2010 10:11 a.m.
