 Area business leaders site concerns with property rights, economic vitality
 
On February 20th, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors unanimously voted to oppose the Save Open Space and Agricultural Resources initiative, known as S.O.A.R.
 
The proposed initiative would require a vote of the people of Oceanside for any request requiring a zone change to open space or agricultural property. This initiative destabilizes farmers’ rights, creates devastating community impacts, and denigrates the City Council.

Public Workshop: Thursday, March 15, 2018

The City of Oceanside will host a public workshop on a draft Climate Action Plan (CAP) and a draft policy framework for the Energy and Climate Action Element (ECAP) on March 15 in the City Council Chambers at Oceanside City Hall, 300 N. Coast Highway. 

The workshop will begin at 5:30 p.m. with an open house offering participants an opportunity to interact with members of the project team, who will share infographics on local sources of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, proposed GHG emissions reduction measures, proposed ECAP goals and policies, and personal choices stakeholders can make to reduce their individual carbon footprint.  

At 6:30 p.m., the project team will deliver a whole-group presentation and field questions and comments from participants.  Public input collected at the workshop will contribute to the refinement of both the CAP and the ECAP policy framework.  

At least a week in advance of the workshop, the draft Cap and Draft ECAP will be posted to the project webpage at the following link (http://www.ci.oceanside.ca.us/gov/dev/planning/gpu/).

Should you have questions about the project, or if you are unable to attend the workshop but want to provide comment, please contact Principal Planner Russ Cunningham at rcunningham@ci.oceanside.ca.us or (760) 435-3525.

By Simone Talarico-Ross, Marketing Consultant

On January 11th, Facebook announced it has changed its algorithm, again! However, this time the changes made a massive shift on how we are using Facebook from now on, and it’s affecting business pages in a huge way. After the doomsday feeling, for us Marketers, subsided, we were able to recognize the silver lining coming from it: now there is a very clear message from Facebook on what they’re really favoring when it comes to content: Live Streaming!
