Timely News Coverage of our City Council Meeting

(See pages 2 and 3 at this link)


Nice boost just in time for the upcoming

Community Engagement Panel

virtual meeting TODAY, August 28, 5:30pm



Here is what I am asking you to do to support our cause tonight.


Simply log onto their online form to make a written statement before the meeting (which they will read aloud if you ask) or you can speak during the meeting,

at this link.


Since damaged canisters is not on the agenda this time, we must impress them with the seriousness of our collective concerns.


Otherwise, we just get put off.


I've copied my own message to the CEP and to SCE below for inspiration or to copy directly. Make your point as brief or as long as you like, or just say you support the efforts of San Clemente Green to have access to visual inspection photos, (see below).


The number of responses they get matters!

(now that they know I've asked this of you, I hope you will follow through to send a strong, unified message. Thanks, Gary)




Dan (CEP) and Manuel (SCE),

If you haven’t yet seen my recent email to the panelists, here’s the link. (I’d also like to show it during my presentation, along with the short video clips, if that’s acceptable.)

My first request is straightforward: please take an informal consensus — even just a quick headcount — to see how many panelists believe it is reasonable for the public to see photos from the canister inspections. While the CEP is not a decision-making body, it has often expressed a collective view, such as when David Victor noted that “the panel leans toward CIS as a solution.” This seems like a similar situation where clarity on the panel’s sentiment matters.

My second request is for SCE to explain why the camera angles for these inspections differ so much from those angles we are so concerned about? We specifically asked to see whether the damage on #72 has progressed over the past five or six years. If there are additional images that capture the gouge and corrosion on #72, they should be made public at this CEP meeting — not withheld until October 16. 

By the time of the October meeting, the community should already have access to all relevant images, reviewed with independent oversight, so that we can focus on solutions rather than disputes over withheld evidence.

Thank you for considering these reasonable requests.

Gary
