The Union Tribune has interviewed them both:

I have spoken with each candidate and they have both been very generous with their time.
I have asked them whether they would (or would not) support the reactivation of the Torrey Pines City Park Advisory Board to advise the City on the oversight of that park. At the current time, both candidates are considering their positions.
Subsequent to our meeting with Mayor Faulconer (thanks to all the Torrey Hawks who attended), I received this email message from the Mayor's office:
Quote:
Bob,
As far as reinstating or creating a new Torrey Pines City Park
Advisory Board, we are deferring to Councilmember Lightner
since this is in her district. Should she decide move forward
with it, we will help as appropriate.
Francis Barraza
Director of Appointments/Community Representative - District 1

That puts the decision squarely in the District 1 Council Member's hands (currently Sherri Lightner). Sherri Lightner has refused to take any action on the matter and fortunately she has reached her term limit. So that decision will fall to whoever replaces her.
Stay tuned ...
