Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Diego County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Low-impact camping on agricultural land (AB 518)

Reopening Agua Caliente Airport
The county will study the feasibility of reopening the historic Agua Caliente airstrip in East County using non-general fund resources.
