Caltrans
The Jamul Roadway Safety Committee met with Caltrans to further discuss why the Tribe did not require an encroachment permit. This meeting was scheduled for July 10th at 2:30pm. Caltrans refused to let the press attend.
Caltrans informed the group that they had completed a survey and found the existing 16" Otay water main was only .2 inches in the Caltrans right-of-way thus the tribe did not need an encroachment permit. Caltrans did admit they had not looked at previous surveys, using only the survey paid for by the tribe.
The committee will continue to meet with Caltrans to seeek reassurances that NO access will allowed on Highway 94.
Otay Water District
The JAC has requested all documents from the district. As a Otay rate payer, you need to be aware that Otay is willing to allow the tribe to have more than the 10 acre feet per year the property is currently allowed, yet we are facing major shortages and rate increases. The community needs to hold Otay accountable to have an environmental impact report done.
SDGE
The JAC has learne that SDGE has quietly purchased 3.75 acres in Jamul at the corner of Proctor Valley and Maxfield, for the shocking sum of $1,000,000. SDGE has refused to disclose their plans, the impacts to Jamul and if a proposed substation is to serve the tribe. Why do we need another substation in Jamul you ask? Ask SDGE.
The San Diego Union Tribune has printed several articles recently with an editorial on July 5th that clearly shines the light on the militancy of the tribe.
