More Misinformation on CPP Meeting Notice

The city website updated the Hall Project information on City Web Site.

The website shows the CPP Meeting Invitation.

Revised CPP meeting notice.
http://www.cityofencinitas.org/NR/rdonlyres/8EBD6022-B87F-477A-826E-D905E6C7E129/0/NeighborhoodMeetingLetter.pdf

This notice has changed a lot. The real document misstates that this EIR was approved by the Planning Commission. Untrue. For a while today it stated,
"... approved by the Planning Department and/or the City Council."
Now it is just the council.
The project description on the city web site changed a lot today, too.
For a while, it included tennis courts. Then it was changed to no tennis courts, but basketball courts. Neither are included in the current plans. This is what the community wanted. They lost. The city is trying to pretend that this is a community park. It is not. It is a Special Use Park.

Actual original CPP notice.

The City altered the original document on the city web site and is presenting it as what was sent out.

The actual original states, "The project Master Plan and Comprehensive EIR have been approved and certified by the Planning Commission..."
(This was not factual and the city recently changed the text of the document)
 
How can it be appropriate to alter a legal document and present it as the original on the city web site?
And, the city has "updated" the Hall Property "Community Park" project description. WHY?

THIS IS NOT A COMMUNITY PARK. IT IS A SPECIAL USE PARK.
Parks and Recreation Department, under direction from council, stated in their recorded CPP response document to citizens,
"...it is designated as a Special Use Park"

The city made a lot of changes yesterday.
The city is stating that there will be, "basketball courts, a skate park, a teen center, a dog park, an aquatic center"
In truth on the master plan map there are no tennis courts or basketball courts or volleyball courts, just sports fields that the majority of the community will not have access to.  This plan serves visitors from outside the community more that our own community. The aquatic center has been taken off the table, for now, even though the city want to have citizens pay for stadium lights installed for the aquatic center.

This just goes to show that since the first concept of this park certain members of the council-Dalager, Bond and Stocks have manipulated every stage of their so called plan-a Special Interest park not what the citizens of Encinitas voted for a Community Park-passive to retain the Character of Encinitas. How criminal is this changing documents when we all have the original which is stated completely different! Shame on you lame council members-time to step down!!!!
