The Torrey Pines City Park Advisory Board spent the last nine months putting together a vision. Now that the park\u2019s general draft plan is complete, the board will no longer meet. Bob Kuczewski thinks disbandment is not only a mistake; he believes it\u2019s illegal. Kuczewski lives and breathes hang gliding. It\u2019s what attracted him to move to San Diego in the first place. Kuczewski is president of the Torrey Hawks Hang Gliding Club and he has served on the advisory board to create the plan update. Kuczewski believes the park needs a citizens\u2019 oversight board to represent the interests of the public similar to the advisory board that oversees Mission Bay Park. “The people and public need to provide input so the concessionaire can\u2019t push them around,” Kuczewski said. The 2007 settlement agreement stipulated the city do four things:<\/b> 1) pay the plaintiffs; 2) enforce the lease agreement; 3) prepare a general development plan; and 4) establish a Torrey Pines City Park Advisory Board. Kuczewski said disbanding the advisory board is illegal because the lawsuit required the city to establish an advisory board in a stipulation separate from the one to create a general development plan. The settlement agreement doesn\u2019t specify a timeframe for disbanding the advisory board. The City Council, however, created the advisory board to oversee the creation of the general development plan \u2014 and not to oversee management of the gliderport, said Erin Demorest, spokesperson for District 1 Councilwoman Sherri Lightner. “A discussion should happen over the coming months about the ways in which the community can be involved with the park and gliderport after the general development plan is approved,” Demorest said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
