LAGUNA WOODS
The city will join the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority, using its new power as a municipality to fight the proposed airport at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. Residents believe the project threatens the gated community’s well-being.
“This is the single most important issue for the community and the only thing we all agree on,” Councilman Bert Hack said. Representatives of the anti-airport group said they will most likely let the new city join the 10-city group for about $50,000 in annual dues, saving the city hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The board will vote April 26 on whether to admit Laguna Woods, an action considered a formality. Once admitted, the city will have a 9% board voting share, based on its population.
