Rancho Bernardo residents who would like to have a say in community issues have one more chance to meet the eligibility requirement to be an RB Planning Board candidate.
Those interested in running during the board’s March election must have documented attendance at a full board meeting during the past 12 months, according to the board’s election rules. The Declaration of Candidacy form states the requirement must be fulfilled prior to February’s meeting.
This means, if those interested have not yet met the requirement, their last opportunity to do so is the board’s 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21 meeting. It will be held online via Zoom due to the pandemic. To request the link, send an email to RBPBChair@gmail.com by 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 21.
A lack of participation has pulled the plug on the first year of Watertown in Lights.
Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce Tourism Manager Robin Kaufman said the Watertown in Lights, a drive-thru holiday light display on Lunde Lane at Brandt-Quirk Park that was set for Saturday has since been canceled.
âWe wanted this for our communities, but we could not secure enough participants to make this the event it was meant to be,â Kaufmann posted on the Watertown Tourism Facebook page Dec. 1.
After several cancellations this year, Kaufmann said the Watertown Tourism Commission wanted to bring something new to the community for the holidays.
