Alan Serry, having investigated alternatives as requested, has moved the PMPO account to the Bank of Escondido. He says as a result of the move, the PMPO can expect to earn about $1000 in interest this year.

PMPO Notification About Major-use-permit Applications:

Jim Hamerly has placed the PMPO on the county list to receive copies of permit applications.

Yale / La Jolla Indian Reservation Cedar Creek project:

Commercial Helicopter Operations:

Phillips Reid said his original goals for the ``helipad'' were to use it for his personal travel and to make it available at no charge for emergency use. The parcel is 4.17 acres, zoned ``residential-commercial' but in fact cannot be used for a residence. He said it could be used for a church, commercial property, or a civic center. He is now interested in selling the land, but with support by the Fire Department the original plan might still be possible.

The meeting was adjourned at 1:32 P.M.

Michael E. Pique, Secretary.
