The request for revocation of the permit for the Los Osos sewer project by the Los Osos Sustainability Group was DENIED by the California Coastal Commission today. Let's hope that is the last such obstacle to getting this project built. The phrase, "We Delay, We Pay," has come true every time a project was delayed or stopped. Although the monthly payments this time round are scaled back, the years to pay have stretched out longer.
I wonder how much staff time and money LOSG is responsible for on the cost of this project that we all are paying for? It is wonderful that we can all express our opinions about this and other issues, but at what point should these opinions be expressed only in venues that don't add to an already hefty financial burden on the community? Sorry Board of Supervisors, I know that this means you.
Thanks to Mr. Ogren, Mr. Waddell, Mr. Hutchison, and county staff who worked on this and our District 2 Supervisor Mr. Gibson for representing the majority of the community in Huntington Beach today. Have a safe trip home.

1:54 p.m. Coastal Commission Concurs!
The California Coastal Commission agreed with staff to the amendment to the Los Osos Coastal Development Permit to move the generator building to be located in the community park over to the library across the street.
The Deputy Director's Report lists this as an "Immaterial Amendment." And no commissioners disagreed with that assessment. This knocked down concerns about library space (a slide showed where the new expansion would go if there was to be one someday), noise (as quiet as a conversation), habitat impingement (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service gave a green light), the CSD well in the parking lot (no problem), improper noticing (400 letters mailed plus a sign noticing what was to happen well in advance of this hearing, and that prior conditions from the last project should be imposed on this project (that was a different project whose permit had expired).
Four commissioners had ex-parte conversations with Bruce Gibson on the topic of performance deadlines associated with funding that might be a problem should the commissioners not agree with staff.
No delay to the project today however so the project moves ahead. My thanks to Bruce Gibson for helping Los Osos avoid costly delays.
