District 6 accomplishments

According to west Clairemont representative to Donna Frye Keith Corry, after being asked what Frye and her team aimed to accomplish in her position as District 6 council woman, his answer was basically, we've already accomplished everything.

Elections are Nov. 2 and Frye has completed 10 years of service, making her ineligible to run for re-election.

However, Corry stressed that during Frye's time in office, emphasis was placed on accessibility to District 6 residents saying,"so people don't feel like we're sitting in our ivory tower downtown.”

This was accomplished several ways, according to Corry. One of which was the regularly scheduled meeting times for community members who wanted to speak with Frye.

Whether residents agree or disagree, her time is just about up in office and soon Clairemont residents will need to bring their issues to a new person.

Next meeting

So, I have not been able to get in contact with any council members so far. I would very much love to speak with one and find out what issues are at the forefront of the CTC members' minds. However, it seems that I may have to wait until the first Thursday in October to find out.

Additionally, I have been trying to find out how much money the CTC members make. I have found the process a little frustrating, but will continue to search. If anything, I will ask them directly at the next CTC meeting.

Of course, I will let you know what I find.

Some information

At 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month, the Clairemont Town Council holds its meeting in the cafeteria of Clairemont High School. The town council is made up of community members and consists of volunteer positions. Additionally, community members can join by becoming a member and paying to do so, which is where the council gets money for its small grants and other donations it makes to the community. More information can be found at its website.
