Bartlett defends the event as a road project celebration that raised sixty five thousand with proceeds to Inside the Outdoors. An amendment to disclose possible gifts passes unanimously.

Spoolies Hair Curlers Land Walmart Deal in 400 Stores
Dana Point based Spoolies Hair Curlers led by Jeanne and Tim James will be sold in 400 Wal-Mart stores with impulse placement near registers and in about 300 additional stores next year. The product, heatless curlers made in San Clemente, aims to promote U.S. manufacturing and supports Kenyan girls education with a portion of profits. Wal-Mart notes the buy supports its pledge to source $250 billion in U.S. products by 2023.

Griffith withdraws appeal halting Hotel Capistrano challenge
After Griffith withdrew, the City Council said an appeal hearing was unnecessary and any city actions on the project are void. Inn at the Mission and Hotel Capistrano by Kimpton had planning approvals in July. Capistrano's appeal, heard Sept. 6, was denied 4-1, preserving the Planning Commission vote. Griffith claimed Capistrano violated view protections tied to Egan House next door.

Council Upholds Planning Commission On Inn at the Mission
The city council largely backed the Planning Commission’s OK for the Inn at the Mission project. Resident Marc Weintraub and Hotel Capistrano developer David Wood cited impacts on Mission San Juan Capistrano and the Little Yellow House, while staff argued the Inn would present less bulk and mass than the Plaza Banderas plan nearby.
