NOTE: City councils and school boards have closed their meeting spaces to the public to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Public participation is possible by phone links to the meetings, livestreaming meetings and/or emailing comments. Visit each agency’s website for details, usually found under “Meetings” or “Agendas.”

CITY COUNCILS DEL MAR

The Del Mar City Council will meet in closed session at 2:15 p.m. Monday to discuss property negotiations, litigation and personnel. The council will then meet in special session at 4:30 p.m. for public hearings on encroachment permits and on extending Covidrelated business assistance efforts, such as temporary signage. The council will also discuss a letter to the Winston School regarding its lease with the city.

ESCONDIDO

The Escondido City Council will meet in closed session at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday to discuss litigation, personnel and property negotiation. The 2021 State of the City will take place at 6 p.m. as part of the regularly scheduled virtual City Council meeting. Mayor Paul Mcnamara will review how Escondido has faced the challenges of 2020. The address will also be available for viewing afterward at escondido.org/ meeting-broadcasts. The council will hold a workshop outlining strategies and efforts to remedy homelessness and transiency in the city. A proposal from Councilmember Tina Inscoe about campaign funds is also on the agenda. The city requires that surplus funds in local campaign accounts be relinquished at the end of the election season. This prohibits a carry-over of surplus funds into a candidate’s next local campaign, thus giving the candidate a head start over competitors. The ordinance applies to a “person,” and the definition of “person” includes entities such as firms, partnerships, joint ventures, companies, corporations and political action committees. Inscoe is requesting that the council consider excluding “Political Party Committee” from the definition of “person.”
