  1. Jim thinks we should put out an RFP and solicit bids for a scope change in the middle of a binding contract term.

    Thankfully no one else in the room is that dumb.

    1. So he pulled a consent calendar item in March 2025 to discuss something he wants to do in 2027.

      Somehow you made it sound even dumber.

  3. He’s just grandstanding. He literally sputters and says “um” a gazillion times and says he just needed to ask the question but he’s still going to vote yes with Joy and Bruce. So it’s all for show so he can seem like he’s a DOGE guy

  5. Looking fwd to the next concert at Bobby Riggs, it's such a blast! But I do feel as though the band members lacked diversity and the black national anthem wasn't sung which is absolutely unacceptable. Also need to talk to the owner about putting "choose love" on all of the pickle ball courts. If we're able to make these much needed improvements I will approve the renaming of future concerts at BR to Malleepalooza.

  6. Consider how Blakespear and Margo Gonzalez absolutely fucked over the city of Encinitas.

    It's unlikely it will ever recover.

    Current council need to at least try to unfuck it all.

    Unfortunately blueskyboy establishment Bruce is terrified Newsom and peedo rep Weiner.


    You all know it's true. It's true.

    Scumbags.

    Stand your ground against these satanic scumbags who are ruining everything they come into contact with.

    Accountability is coming. Bank on it.

    Builder remedy what an absolute joke.

    How about criminal illegal alien remedy?

    How about that criminals?

    You want to play that game?

    Ok homey lets roll you remedy criminal scumbags.

    The remedy is going to becat your door soon.

  7. Is the Park and rec manager still the current city manager?

    Or did Luke show his cojones and get the others to fire her on the spot?

    Luke is a stud and he can get things done. 👏👏👏💪👊🇺🇸❤️

  9. Let me get this Straight. Bruce and his team promoted Blakespear's Sante Fe Drive design team to the City Manager office?

    He kept the same team that brought us all the bike traps, deaths and lawsuits like the Walker near death $11 million City payout run down on sharrow lanes on high speed Highway 101, and that was after poor Stephanies run down on the bad decision to put a Sharrow on a highway in 2017.

    ENCINITAS - San Diego County Sheriff’s investigators are asking for the public’s help in locating the driver of a Mercedes Benz, who struck a bicyclist on Coast Highway 101 in Leucadia on Aug. 11 but did not stop.

    Meanwhile, friends and family are pouring out support for the woman struck by the car, who suffered a severe brain injury during the incident.

    Deputies responded shortly after 10 p.m. to the intersection of North Coast Highway 101 and Basil Street, where a 30-year-old woman on a bike in the southbound designated bicycle “sharrow” lane was hit by a car, according to sheriff’s Cpl. Brenda Sipley. The driver did not stop at the scene and fled southbound.

    A family friend identified the victim as Stephanie Berger-McKenna, a marathon runner who had just left Pandora Pizza with her husband,

    The family friend, Tammy Livingston, said that Berger-McKenna was transported to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, where she has undergone two surgeries — one to remove a portion of her skull to reduce swelling and the second to remove a blood clot discovered following the first surgery.
    Walker rundown and settlement from the same sharrow condition that exists on South Cardiff that Steve Wallace has been trying to get the City to fix for years.

    Wow. I wouldn't have guessed that in a million years.

    Same team, same perspective, same plans. Same failure for the community.

    I bet Blakespear, her street design gimp, and the whole freakshow are stoked.

    Too bad the wrecking ball continues in Encinitas. 🤮

    I wish the needless deaths would honestly stop, and I will get my new yacht this year.

    - Call me for results.... RIP to all those that have and are suffering as a result

    1. Here's a tip......don't walk or ride a bike close to cars.

    3. 5:57- hey dumbass. Where are the walkers and bikers supposed to walk in bike?

      Currently, There’s no space for them.

      - I’d recommend you turning your keys or learn the laws for driving.

    4. @6:20, no you is the dumbass. Check those deaths, they all occur where "improvements" have been done.

    5. Waking in leucadia should not be a death sentence

      Delete
    6. Yep. Bruce did all that.

      He told people what they wanted to hear to get elected.

      Just like he told people what they wanted to hear when he said he would appoint someone from New Encinitas and instead we now have two seats in the council occupied by Olivenhain

      Delete
  10. 7:04- nope. You’re 100% wrong. That makes you a dumbass.

    Sharrows on a highway was Blakespear’s idea and that’s what resulted in many deaths and pain and suffering, future deaths, and massive million dollar payouts

    Those are not improvements, dumbass.

    Those are mistake mistakes and people’s lives and the city’s taxpayers are paying millions for those mistakes.

    Get the sharrows off the high-speed highway down in Cardiff. Reestablish the previous bike lanes as Steve Wallace has been suggesting.

    Address the door zones and the under width bike lanes in Leucadia and Cardiff.

    You freak show members like Blakespear and her gimp are so freaking stupid. Even after your friend got run down and almost killed you still keep Sharrows on high speed roads.

    Bruce is not much better keeping the same City Hall team intact which resulted in these deaths.

    No wonder attorneys are having massive payouts on the tax dollars dime. You’re freaking idiots.

  11. Hey everybody, Jim here.

    I’d like to pull this item from the consent calendar to waste everyone’s time while I do some empty grandstanding about something that might be relevant in 2027.

    Also, I don’t understand what scope changes are.

  13. Best comments of the night came from Susan Turney, who pointed out the huge misinformation that Encinitas is behind in RHNA numbers as compared to other cities. Worth a listen amid the pickle ball protesters.

  16. Susan Turney's comments were well researched and backed by facts. The comments insulting her are from the same developers and their lawyers to try to negate the truth of what Susan reveals about their lies. One way to think of it is that Susan and other citizen advocates have never made any money off of their positions. Developers and their lawyers make entire livings off of lying about RHNA numbers and other facts that impact taxpaers.

  18. How much time off is a council person allowed before being replaced? Three months? Is there a city statute that covers this unfortunate situation or is it up to the council person herself?

    1. 60 days is the limit to take a leave on not be replaced, which is what she's taking. If she takes any more than that she has to be replaced.

  22. For your information, I didn't make it to the meeting coz I was applying anti-Musk metallic decals to my Tesla (per Elevator Music's recommendation). I don't want to be at risk of being flipped off when I drive my Tesla by the protest tomorrow. I also drove by Helen Woodward and got my hands on some quality cat hair to throw in the backseat for extra points!
