We need to maintain a certain stability, especially on the Planning Commission, because we depend on them to do the site review work that they do before it gets to council, Alvarez said in an interview. At last week's City Council meeting, Mayor Teresa Smith and Councilmen Fred Whitaker and Mark Murphy echoed Alvarez's support of Cathcart. I would not like to accept the resignation of this commissioner either, said Smith, adding that shed like to keep the commission intact for an upcoming decision on a major project. Alvarez took the issue a step further and asserted that Merino volunteered for deployment. I didnt think that was an issue, because Mike wasnt called to service. Its my understanding he took a position, said Alvarez. I think its much different than being called to service. Merino was emphatic that he was called to active duty.

City of Orange to discuss Confederate Park

Remember last season, Baltimore? Nevermore. "I think it's going to set the tone," said Broncos fan Andre Rudolph, who, like Barton, was shopping Wednesday at the team's stadium store for last-minute gear to wear to the game. "United in Orange," is the buzz-phrase Denver leaders are using for fans on Thursday. People are encouraged to wear orange to work or school. The Denver City and County building plus a number of buildings downtown will be lit up in Orange Attorney lights. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock plans to lead fans on a bicycle procession from the City and County building to the game at about 3:30 p.m. He will be joined by Miles, the Broncos mascot.

A City of Silver Bells, Orange Alerts, and Shrugs

The use of the site for such low-density residential development (as well as open space) was approved by Orange in 1973, and became part of the city's General Plan. However, for much of the past four decades, the land-use map accompanying the Orange General Plan incorrectly identified the Ridgeline site as "open space," rather than "open space and low density." To correct its General Plan, the Orange City Council adopted an amendment in June 2011 to reflect the land-use designation for Ridgeline that was approved in 1973. That's when two groups, the Orange Park Association and the Orange Citizens for Parks and Recreation, sponsored and circulated a referendum petition calling for a public vote on the council-approved General Plan amendment. And, although the Orange city attorney issued an opinion that voter approval was not necessary for JMI to proceed with the Ridgeline project which was unanimously approved by the city's Design Review Committee, Park Planning and Development Commission and Planning Commission the City Council nonetheless placed Measure FF on the November ballot. Superior Court Judge Robert Moss in May sided with the Ridgeline developer. He ordered FF removed from the ballot and ruled that JMI could "immediately proceed with its Ridgeline project." However, in July, a state appeals court stayed Judge Moss' ruling and ordered FF back on the ballot.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

Bloomberg and Gov. George E. Pataki set an example by going on a well-publicized shopping expedition in Midtown. The Police Department said it received a higher number of reports of what it calls suspicious packages: unattended bags, boxes or luggage that arouse fears of a possible bomb, one official said. The official was unable to provide figures but said such reports often rose when greater attention is focused on the possibility of terrorism. While some of those interviewed yesterday said the alert indeed woke them up to greater awareness of their surroundings, others shrugged.

O.C. to pay city of Orange up to $340,000 a year to avoid suit on housing of federal inmates at county jail

The Sheriffs Department reached an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement this summer to house up to 838 detainees at the Theo Lacy Facility in Orange and the James A. Musick Facility near Irvine, which would bring in an estimated $35 million to the department and help close its budget gap. But the central Orange County community of Orange raised early objections, saying the move would violate a 1995 agreement it has with the county concerning the Theo Lacy Facility, which is across the street from the bustling Block at Orange shopping center. Orange City Manager John Sibley had said the city was considering a lawsuit. In addition to the annual payout -- which amounts to 1.5% of what the county will get per detainee per day - the city will pay only about $5,000 a year to use the Sheriffs Department shooting range.
