During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the implications of various school funding mechanisms, including the 2006 bond, the 2020 parcel tax, and the 2022 bond. Legal counsel clarified that these bond measures serve as financing tools for construction and property acquisition, rather than referenda on land use decisions. This distinction was emphasized in response to concerns raised by a letter writer who conflated bond measures with land use regulations.

The meeting also featured public comments, with Dr. Patrick Horn from the Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council expressing significant concerns regarding water supply issues and the rapid progression of a fire station and water project. He urged for a delay in voting on the matter to allow for community engagement and thorough evaluation of the implications, particularly in light of predicted water supply challenges over the next 30 years.

Rob Skinner, another member of the council, echoed Horn's call for a pause, citing a lack of prior notification about the issue and the need for more time to assess alternative water sources for the school. He highlighted existing wells and riparian rights that could provide better solutions for the community's water needs.

The meeting underscored the importance of community involvement in local governance, particularly when significant projects are at stake. The call for a delay reflects a broader concern about ensuring that all stakeholders have adequate time to engage with and understand the implications of proposed developments.
