My individual definition of “all Cambrian’s voices” is anyone who has lived, would like to live or is currently living in Cambria. People who own lots, with or without water meter positions, improved or empty, 2nd/3rd generation or moved here last week, renters, landlords and owners and all included in my definition. Who isn’t included? People, families or companies who own property (improved or not) with no intention of living here or being an active member of the community.
Cambrians for Fiscal Responsibility has not yet considered a definition for who is a Cambrian.
Amanda,
I agree that “all Cambrian’s voices” should include anyone who would like to live in Cambria. My wife and look forward to the day when we will be able to build our retirement home on our lot.
However, there are those who live in Cambria that don’t want to allow any growth. They are the ones who supported a CCSD that allowed the infrastructure deteriorate to the point that there wasn’t adequate water suppy, or pressure, to protect Cambria from a fire. In this case they put their own selfish desires ahead of protecting Cambria. These few individuals have been attacking the CCSD and every one of their projects to improve the infrastructure.
The current CCSD Board has come far to making up for years of non-action by prior Boards. The Master Water Plan actually puts a large burden on lot owners like myself when the time comes for us to build.
Our costs are much greater than the current home owners. It is to the advantage of the current home owners to have the moratorium lifted as soon as possible so that the lot owners can help in meeting the needs of having a sound water supply and sewer system.
Linda and I will be in Cambria in the last week of May. Maybe we will be able to meet with you.
Until then,
Jim & Linda Ensley
P.S. Our favorite song is “California Town” by Fernando Ortega.
Just one example the costs of operating a desal plant in Santa Barbara are $1918.00 per acre foot.
