In early June, I teamed up with Beauti-
ful Mission Beach, the Mission
Beach Town Council and Supervisor
Ron Roberts to host the Mission Beach
FLY Summit. The problem is a summer
infestation that is magnified by 20,000
visitors each weekend to this tiny strip
of land. The City of San Diego had pre-
viously provided a second trash
pickup during the hot summer months,
however, that service was eliminated in
lean budget years.
Together, the community helped to convince my Council
colleagues to approve my request for an additional trash
pickup this summer. This has been several years in the making
and I am grateful to our City Attorney Jan Goldsmith, Mayor
Kevin Faulconer and the City Council for helping to make it a
better summer for residents, visitors and business owners.

Councilmember Zapf joined public safety
personnel, coastal business owners and I Love a
Clean San Diego at the 2016 San Diego Clean
Beach Coalition Bin unveiling.
Zapf announced that 125 bins for temporary
trash and recycling bins will be placed in Mission
Bay, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, and Ocean
Beach to prepare for the anticipated July 4th
crowd of beach and park goers in her district.
“People put your trash in the garbage
bins...how hard is that?” said Zapf.

I was pleased to join Mayor Faulconer, Council President Lightner and
Councilmembers Cole and Gloria at the 2017 Budget Signing.
It was a good year for San Diegans! The Mayor presented a great
budget and the City Council unanimously supported this collaborative
effort.
Many city services have been restored to pre-recession levels with an
emphasis on infrastructure , public safety and arts & culture. District
Two will benefit from more funding for Police, Fire and Lifeguards, im-
proved street lights, increased Park and Recreation Staff at Mission Bay,
Mission Beach Fly Abatement, Street Paving just to name a few.
