Mission Beach's last big chunk
Oh come on. This parcel is less than 200 feet from one of the largest public parks in San Diego. Ya know, Mission Bay Park. We need housing, all types of housing. If these are expensive ones all the better, they’ll generate tax and development revenue for the city and county.— October 15, 2017 6:47 p.m.
Mission Beach's last big chunk
No one misses him, especially all the women he harassed while he held the power as our mayor. Considering current events involving Harvey Weinstein and his boorish behavior over the years, I have no doubt Filner had many other victims who made a conscious choice not to relive the pain he caused.— October 15, 2017 6:37 p.m.
Wedding for 619 and 858 area codes imminent
The short answer is no, when using a cellphone, and yes when calling on a landline. A more complete explanation as to why it's this way can be found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten-digit_dialing Simply, smart phones have a send button that tells the smart phone network here's the whole number I'm calling. Old landline phones don't know when your done pressing digits so they need the "one or zero" digit to alert them to expect more digits to follow (except zero and a long pause connects to an operator, whereas zero followed by a 1 plus a country code number).— October 15, 2017 4:24 a.m.
Who made it first to Mission Bay drowning scene?
BTW from the PD incident history, lifeguards were first on scene. But, as I mentioned in the previous post, we do not have the FIRE department’s incident history.— October 13, 2017 1:54 p.m.
Wedding for 619 and 858 area codes imminent
So, when did the CPUC, in all of its infinite wisdom, hold hearings on this change? I don’t recall getting or seeing any notice on this.— October 13, 2017 12:38 p.m.
Who made it first to Mission Bay drowning scene?
A lesson on how to read incident history: 911 calls in the City are answered by the SDPD communications division, then forwarded to the appropriate dept. The incident number #P1703####### = year/month and the number of the incident for that month. So we know this was incident 0020823 in March of 2017. But there is also a second record, 0020827 as reference as “Xref”. So to see all both records should be pulled to be sure. CT14 = the physical position of the “call taker” on logged into the CAD or computer aided dispatch system. 8838 = the employee ID#. RC01= the radio dispatcher position RC01 typically dispatches units assigned the the PD’s beach command. 8814 = the employee ID of the radio dispatcher. LD01= lead disp - sometimes a supervising dispatcher. Initial Type = after gathering info from the 911 caller, the CT formats the call and assigns a call type. In this case 1146 which is the 10-11 radio code for report of a death. PRI = E emergency or the HIGHEST priority call typically requires immediate dispatch and can mean others (within the dispatch centers(fire,police & lifeguard) can be involved via an intercom. DISPO = Final Disposition = R = a report was made. 1stcolumn: TIME HACKs. /1819 = 6:19PM. Time hacks with a question mark = added after that minute had passed. Could have been edited at anytime. I.e. time hack added manuallly. It not unusual to add details momentarily lost during the chaos of an incident. 2nd column: ID# of employee entering data. 3rd column: description of event or person involved. E.G. “change” change location from Miss bay park to “near the lake” this case the model yacht pond. “ASSTR” assisting unit. “DISP” primary dispatched PD unit. - 124v2 = beat 124- V: one officer) 2 second watch work hours. Events with an asterisk = entered from the field via the user’s mobile data computer. E.g. *ONSCNE 124V2 pressed a button indicating he/she had arrived on scene. May have also made a radio transmission, but not required to do so. However, using the radio let’s others, I.e. (within your department) you’ve arrived in this example. Police and FIRE/LG unit are NOT in the same talk group so they CANNOT hear one another IN MOST INSTANCES like this call. All other entries are made in the dispatch center by the corresponding employee ID number. Finally besides the incident history in the CAD, there is also a case number for a report assigned . “ASNCAS” in this case it’s 17, the year, and case number 0009894 or the 9,894th case report of the 2017 calendar year. What we dont have here is the FIRE CAD’s dispatch incident history. What might also be interesting to hear, is the intercom recordings between call takers, PD dispatch and FIRE dispatch I find Muñoz refusal to explain the Incident History report very disappointing. As a spokesperson that’s part of her job. She purposely obstructed your reporting of this event in my opinion. If you need to know more let me know.— October 12, 2017 6:36 p.m.
Public relations hiring binge
Do nothing councilman and do nothing mayor. No surprises, no leadership, and most of all no imagination. Just keeps on wasting taxpayer dollars on PR HACKS hoping somebody will do something to improve the do nothing image.— October 11, 2017 10:15 p.m.
Don’t expect Florida and Caribbean tourists to flock west
I’ll add the ongoing coverage of the “Hepatitis A” epidemic, as well as the homeless encampments centered in San Diego ain’t going to help. The hotelier’s lapdog, Mayor Faulconer, has once again failed to address the problem. Instead, he hires PR hacks to blame the County for his lack of leadership.— October 11, 2017 8:47 a.m.
Sunset Cliffs at Voltaire, you dirty thing
I'm just wondering how is hosing down the sidewalk in front of, or an alleyway behind a business a problem? If you believe it is, how is it different than when it rains? Both end up in the storm drain. Yet the city will cite you if you try to keep the area around your business cleaned up. Is the city perpetuating this epidemic, or creating more problems through ridiculous regulations?— October 11, 2017 7:54 a.m.
U-T print circulation continues downward spiral
On Sundays, in my neighborhood, major roadway intersections have one or two people hawking papers for $1. Why bother subscribing? Just wondering are these "corner retail sales" counted as part of the subscription numbers?— October 10, 2017 8:43 a.m.
