Staff Report
Staff Report: In order to maintain an efficient coordination of the San Diego Regional Military Working
Group and a realistic quorum, the agencies identified as members of the Working Group, of which
National City is one, were asked to send SANDAG an appointment letter (attached) indicating the staff
representing the agency, as well as an alternate.
Background:
In April of 2013, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) formed a Military Working Group
to provide a collaborative forum for the various branches of the military and SANDAG to address areas
of mutual interest, including growth management, habitat, transportation, regional growth, housing,
water, energy and other related topics. The Advisory Group reports to the Regional Planning Committee
which in turn reports to the SANDAG Board of Directors.
Responsibilities:
The Military Working Group responsibilities include reviewing current activities and plans being
implemented by SANDAG and the various branches of the military. The goal is to coordinate programs,
address issues of concern, and determine the best ways in which the military can support regional
prosperity, while the region supports the effective operations of the military.
The Working Group will provide input on SANDAG work efforts as they relate to the local military
community. The Military Working Group also assists with the associated outreach to the military
community on issues of regional significance.
Membership:
The Military Working Group is chaired by Mike Woiwode, SANDAG Board Member and Councilmember
for the City of Coronado. Military representatives (Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard) and City
representatives include members from the cities adjacent to the region's military installations, and one
representative from the cities of National City, Coronado, Imperial Beach, Oceanside, San Diego and
County of San Diego). With the exception of the Chair, the working group is made up of representatives
at the staff level.
The Working Group is scheduled to meet quarterly and has thus far held two meetings. At its last
meeting, it was requested that each agency make their appointment in writing and include one or more
alternate representatives to serve in the primary member's absence.
Staff Recommendation:
Request the City Council approve the following appointments as National City's representatives on the
Military Working Group:
Member: Leslie Deese, City Manager
Alternate: Brad Raulston, Executive Director
