REGION — Retired Oceanside Unified School District Superintendent Larry Perondi will temporarily take the helm of the San Dieguito Union High School District until the board can select a longer-term replacement. Starting on July 1, Perondi will serve as interim superintendent once the current superintendent, Eric Dill, steps down. Dill announced his resignation on May 25 after Larry Perondi accepting a business administration position with Santa Clara Unified School District. The board will vote to approve Perondi’s contract at its next regular meeting on Thursday, June 21. The compensation offer is $1,100 a day. In a district-issued press release, board President Beth Hergesheimer stated, “Bringing in an experienced and respected superintendent like Mr. Perondi to handle the demands of that office will allow our leadership team to continue their focus on the daily activities of running the school district.” Perondi has been retired since 2014. He served as superintendent of Oceanside Unified School District for seven years and, prior to that, as the district’s deputy superintendent for two years. PerTURN TO SUPERINTENDENT ON A9

in the master plan, a vote or any other action under CUP 172 would be difficult to challenge. If a vote were to occur, the attorneys said it could invalidate the ordinance, plus the county, which owns and operates the airport, is under no obligation to follow the result. City Attorney Celia Brewer, meanwhile, said there are virtually no options for the city to “bind” the county to any city action. “The city has limited legal authority inside aeronautical areas,” Kirsch added.

Airport vote grounded, city looks for paths forward By Steve Puterski
CARLSBAD — The long running debate about the McClellan-Palomar Airport Master Plan update will continue for several more months. During a public forum on June 19 at the Faraday Center, city staff and attorneys Peter Kirsch and Sarah Rockwell of Kaplan Kirsch Rockwell law firm in Denver outlined the next steps for the city and residents to move forward with San Diego County. The city hired the Denver firm earlier this year to review the master plan and analyze options for the city. The county released some sections of the Draft Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) on June 21. The public has 45 days to comment, followed by the county responding to each comment before the master plan goes before the Board of Supervisors, according to Jason Haber, assistant to the Carlsbad city manager. One goal of the workshop, Haber added, was for residents and staff to collaborate on pathways forward and work with the county to find solutions to the many issues with the update. One of those, which many residents have championed for months, is a public vote through ordinance section 21.53.015. Kirsch and However, Rockwell said their con-
clusions do not support a vote. “Start with the question of ‘is there an expansion,’” Rockwell explained. Even with if you say yes … you still end up with the question is there a General Plan zoning changing or other legislative act necessary to authorize the expansion, and our conclusion is still no. In our view it’s not an expansion because they are not expanding the airport boundaries.” Also, the conditional use permit (CUP 172) needed by the county from the city does not include the runway. Rockwell said she is “not sure why that is the case.” Since there are no new land use proposals
