About this blog: In January 2002 I started writing my own online "newspaper" titled "The San Ramon Observer." I reported on City Council meetings and other happenings in San Ramon. I tried to be objective in my coverage of meetings and events, and saved my barbs for my Commentary page. I had some political differences with the City Council at that time and particularly with the majority dubbed "The Gang of Three," by the San Ramon Valley Times. In 2003 new Council members were elected and the Council was more balanced and fiscally conservative, but I continued to write the Observer until 2009. At that point I decided I wanted to concentrate on my commentaries. So I requested a meeting with the editor and publisher of the Danville Weekly about taking over the San Ramon Observer. My timing was very apropos since the parent company, Embarcadero Media, was planning to release an online San Ramon Express that April. I was offered a "blog" under the name "San Ramon Observer" for my commentaries. I like to inform residents about what is happening in San Ramon, especially on city government and local politics. When I don't have anything to write about on those topics, I just write about anything I am doing or thinking about.

July 14 Council Meeting Preview
Uploaded: Jul 10, 2009
There will be no hanky panky at local hotels and motels if the Council passes a new ordinance requiring them to maintain a register with the true names and addresses of people staying there. A public hearing will be held to consider this. It was postponed from an earlier date.
Proclamations will be handed out to Pauline Chiew Nolte for her service on the Library Commission, Leslie Lea for her service as Contra Costa Grade Jury Foreperson, Mrs. Michael Masuda-Nash for her Outstanding First-Year Teacher Award, and ENGEO Inc. as one of the 25 best places to work.
A contract with ENGEO for Geotechnical Engineering consulting is in the Consent Calendar. Also in the Consent Calendar is a request to the Board of Directors of the Dublin San Ramon Services District to appoint a San Ramon Resident to fill the vacancy left by Tom Ford's death.
An appointment will be made to the Arts Advisory Committee, and the Teen Council will present its annual report.
