Commissioner Ramona Angel, chair of the award ad hoc, told the commission the panel reviewed 15 nominations and \"there was one individual who clearly stood out,\" recommending Hanwick for the award. \"The documentation and depth and breadth of Jesse's volunteer service are amazing as evidenced by the impact on our community,\" Angel said.

Angel moved that the commission accept the ad hoc’s recommendation; Commissioner Koblen seconded. Commissioner Stern said, \"My only thing is, my vote will be no,\" and the roll call vote recorded four yes votes and one no. The commission’s staff noted that city eligibility for the senior service award requires nominees to be at least 60 years old.

Why it matters: The Senior Citizen Service Award recognizes volunteer contributions by older adults in Encinitas. Commissioners said the ad hoc used an unbiased scoring system to evaluate nominees; staff confirmed the city does not prohibit sitting commissioners from being nominated and that nominations may come from the community.

After the vote, the commission congratulated Hanwick. Hanwick responded to the honor and thanked colleagues: in remarks after the selection he called the recognition \"overwhelming\" and said he appreciated community support.

The action was procedural and ceremonial; the commission did not allocate funds as part of the selection process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission Meeting 4/15/25","oneSentenceSummary","An ad hoc committee reviewed 15 nominations and recommended Commissioner Jesse Hanwick for the Senior Citizen Service Award; the full commission approved the recommendation 4–1 on April 15 after a motion and vote.","taxTitle","Encinitas, San Diego County, California","taxId",3828,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603385,"Encinitas Senior Commission approves 2025–26 work plan after line-by-line discussion",0,4450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000312-fdfc07d2b78b120b55df55f3ff028bf4&start=4450&end=4450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000312-fdfc07d2b78b120b55df55f3ff028bf4/thumbnail_4450000.jpg","/articles/6603385/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/Encinitas-Senior-Commission-approves-202526-work-plan-after-line-by-line-discussion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603385-ec34b43c0d5e62e45e5564153b1696fd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138193&Signature=bCqkgeSM6FAzxlp5VmrCnXrvyHzst~V9hIy7QLC82hy04oZwn0bb~ZLb25aEvEAvWOcXhTtjXcj0byH32StxAeOqaIWehAK-Nmfs6IcZeje-WzdX4xMoR8k0jnDdMqNRbbgTpC~1ec5q7jwbyToR9nem8Au5ZANiA-aPEPuICL5QR5fHHYv29nENO-9k8TYPZvtoPn~2Ag0eHYSvEtuxcPB3wLVhTGT7fu59BtGlxtIhUFYPJIQV5r5EjbUjBOTWglXyWkb4WQww-CWs8Yb6hPUHgxryBN1ni0N~zfsZadYGj~YCCeUHbga4UtDj88HBRRG5KI-ELUivzBvHTfytog__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission unanimously approved its 2025–26 annual work plan at its April 15 meeting after reviewing ten line items that include intergenerational programming, outreach and partnership goals.

The commission discussed each line item and assigned ad hoc participants where appropriate. \"I would like to make a motion that we approve the work plan for 2025-26,\" said Commissioner Hanwit, who moved the measure; Commissioner Angel seconded the motion. The roll call vote recorded all commissioners voting yes and the motion passed.

Why it matters: The work plan sets the commission’s priorities for the coming fiscal year, including continuing partnerships with service clubs to present the Senior Citizen Service Award, identifying guest speakers, supporting the City of Encinitas Age-Friendly Initiative, exploring grant opportunities, and promoting intergenerational programs with the Youth Commission.

Key clarifications discussed during the review:
- Eligibility for the Senior Citizen Service Award: \"For clarification, eligibility does require a senior citizen to be at least 60 years of age,\" Manager Goodsell told commissioners when members asked whether the award threshold should be 50 or 60.
- Encinitas Age-Friendly Initiative: staff noted a memorandum of understanding for that project has not yet been filed with the city, so commission activities tied to the Age-Friendly Initiative will proceed after the MOU is completed.
- Intergenerational programming: commissioners asked to expand outcomes to emphasize \"generativity and community building\" and suggested including bikes and community gardens as activities.

The commission assigned ad hoc participants for several items. Commissioner Angel volunteered again for the Senior Citizen Service Award ad hoc; Commissioners Hanwick, Ling and others volunteered for intergenerational programming, outreach, grant research and venues for Age-Friendly workshops. Several commissioners asked staff to ensure follow-up on letters of support and outreach so that requests to council and other bodies receive responses.

The vote concluded a lengthy agenda item that commissioners said will help guide the commission’s activities, outreach and collaboration with city departments and community partners over the next year.","The Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission voted unanimously April 15 to approve its 2025–26 annual work plan, which emphasizes intergenerational programs, outreach, grant-seeking and Age-Friendly initiative coordination with SDSU consultants.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603390,"League cycling instructor urges drivers, riders to 'slow our role' at Encinitas senior-commission meeting",1156,212000,1368000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000312-fdfc07d2b78b120b55df55f3ff028bf4&start=212&end=1368","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000312-fdfc07d2b78b120b55df55f3ff028bf4/thumbnail_212000.jpg","/articles/6603390/Encinitas/San-Diego-County/California/League-cycling-instructor-urges-drivers-riders-to-slow-our-role-at-Encinitas-senior-commission-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603390-b25a38b76b43e7a23b1f8da1a7607084/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138193&Signature=nJBjKD5a-WSZrX9XLKLmq54hPZIzj1fhoL6nMy5AZBwqjmVeTnx~oNu8ZPczEEYH5aBihTGJqh4CxUuygHesuT1BA0mKRJFKdRdbDyNLbMziq6kj50~Tbkx4ZAniUmnnzf70fWyrHQv8iVIRsfF1ue5GpI9xfJnjt1QPBiC9xmMMJMg60ZKqggd-9Xh5~ipo6fFSQiLnpFhsPpvBhghof9LfHPSKz6DKSTXk-zEePmjFLsjbXlfJjixOZLUlaeUFrbmiDE5IoJZ5P1s7P7uukZOgFKGHk-fWRl2geTfnV9IMUlJ6E4gnfo~O4TwxKNBs4I5f8X9gr4erqUo8bK4s5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Christine Schindler, a League Cycling Instructor and Safe Routes to School educator, told the Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission on April 15 that drivers, cyclists and pedestrians all share responsibility for street safety and that expanded education can reduce risky interactions on local roads.

Schindler, who said she runs bike-education classes in Encinitas and across San Diego County, described the city’s three-hour cycling course — one hour classroom, one hour skills drills and one hour on-street practice — and encouraged commissioners to attend to better understand the instruction older and younger riders receive. \"We need to slow our role, be more aware and be looking out for each other to create safer streets for everyone,\" she said.

Why it matters: Commissioners raised concerns about unpredictable behavior from some e-bike riders and teenagers, and about older drivers’ ability to react when cyclists are not visible or predictable. Schindler said education for both riders and drivers can reduce crashes caused by so-called \"right hooks\" — when a vehicle turns right into a bicyclist proceeding straight — and she urged visible clothing, working lights and awareness of lane positioning to avoid those conflicts.

Schindler described local and county-level support for education. She said Encinitas offers more city-administered cycling classes than other San Diego cities and that three local school districts require bike-education to obtain bike-parking permits. She also asked the commission to support intergenerational events such as IG Games and Cyclovia, which remove cars from selected streets for a portion of the day to encourage walking and biking.

Commissioner Ramona Angel, an avid cyclist who attended a 55-plus bicycle safety session led by Schindler, said the course was \"invaluable\" and recommended more classes targeted to older drivers and adult-only bike classes. Commissioner Ling said the Health & Safety Commission and the Youth Commission have proposed similar intergenerational programs and urged combined outreach.

In response to a question about right-of-way at intersections, Schindler said a bicyclist traveling straight usually has priority over a vehicle turning right, but she emphasized that positioning — \"take the lane\" in narrow streets — and anticipation reduce the frequency of collisions. She also noted e-bikes can make it difficult to judge a rider’s speed: \"Now if they're going 30 miles an hour ... they may not be on a bike at all,\" she said, referring to speed and classification differences for some electric devices.

Schindler recommended practical visibility measures for older riders and scooter users: lights, bright clothing, slap bands and flags. She said the League of American Bicyclists, the San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and city programs provide curricula and that she will offer more adult-focused classes this summer.

The commission had no vote tied to Schindler’s presentation. Commissioners expressed support for more driver-focused and senior-targeted education and asked staff to consider collaborative events with the Youth Commission and upcoming city programs such as Cyclovia on May 18.","Christine Schindler, a League Cycling Instructor, briefed the Encinitas Senior Citizen Commission on bike-safety education, older-adult classes and driver awareness, urging shared responsibility for street safety and describing local programs including Cyclovia and intergenerational events.","actionData","errors"]
