- Golf Fee Increase: Beginning January 1, 2017, fees at the Coronado Municipal Golf Course will increase. The City Council set new fees in 2013 to fund golf course operations and capital improvement projects. As a result, a new resident fee schedule and regular fee schedule took effect in 2014 and new fee schedules will take effect in January. General play resident green fee will increase by $2 to $35 in January. Weekend/Holiday resident green fee will increase by $2 to $40 in January. See full fee schedule below. Golfers can take advantage of the prepaid rounds. Buy the rounds now and play in 2017 at 2016 rates. The prepaid rounds must be purchased prior to the new fees taking effect. Call the Golf Course for details at (619) 435-3121.
- AED Lifesaving Action: The City activated one of its automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, at the Community Center last week, which resulted in a lifesaving action. Recreation Services employee Nate Lohr was working at the counter on Thursday, December 15, when he heard someone fall near the entrance. The man was breathing but not easily. After an initial assessment, Lohr said he saw the man rapidly losing color and began compressions. Lohr, a certified American Red Cross Lifeguard Instructor, continued CPR until the AED arrived. Staff members, including Aquatics Supervisor Lori Stucki, and Recreation employees Brad Scoggins and Sam Cattel, used the AED. AEDs deliver life-saving electric shock to the heart to halt rapid or chaotic heart activity and are designed to be used by non-medical personnel. The equipment advised staff to continue performing CPR. Once firefighters arrived, they took over. Lohr said the man visited Recreation the next day to thank staff for saving his life. According to Project Heart Beat, the action was the 150th save this year using an AED through the program, which is managed by the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Fire Chief Mike Blood has made it a priority to get AEDs in City facilities all over town for just such emergencies.
- Storms Ahead: Two storms are forecast to hit San Diego County this weekend. Sandbags are available for Coronado residents in need at four locations. No contractors or construction sites please. The City provides sandbags as a courtesy to its residents.
