The Eastern Area Community Planning Group (EACPG) elections will happen on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
The EACPG is a community planning group that advocates for the six neighborhoods that make up the southeastern-most boundary of the City of San Diego: El Cerrito, Rolando Village, Redwood Village, Rolando Park, Oak Park and Webster.
The group guides community members, neighborhood associations, businesses, developers and more in the shaping of the neighborhoods. They advocate for the neighborhoods to the City of San Diego Community Planning Office with the goal of growing smart and in solidarity with Eastern Area interests.
EACPG is looking for community members that live in these six neighborhoods to join them at the July meeting and if interested, apply to be a candidate in the upcoming September election.
The group needs candidates to represent the following neighborhoods/interests: El Cerrito, Redwood Village, Rolando, Rolando Park, Oak Park, Webster; Business owner in the Eastern Area.
Each candidate must reside or have a business interest in the Eastern Area neighborhood in which they intend to run; have attended two of the last 12 EACPG meetings before the September election meeting; have a willingness to regularly attend EACPG meetings which are once a month, every second Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.; desire to be involved in and advocate for Eastern Area community interests.
For those interested, they should go to July’s meeting and check it out.
EACPG’s next regular meeting is July 11 at 7 p.m. at Teen Challenge, 5450 Lea Street, San Diego, 92115.
Those interested can apply to be a candidate at the July meeting. Even if you do not meet the attendance requirement, still apply.
For those not interested in running, attend the September meeting and vote.
All community members are welcome to regularly attend meetings. Public comment is always welcome and EACPG encourages open dialogue. The meetings are a great place to let officials know what’s happening in their neck of the woods.
