RE: Item #15 - SUPPORT FOR INCREASING RECREATION ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITIES AT THE EL CAPITAN RESERVOIR BY FUNDING THE BOAT LAUNCH RAMP EXTENSION
Dear Board of Supervisors,
I am writing to express our strong support for Item #15 on the Board of Supervisors September 1, 2026, meeting agenda. Approval of this item would result in an agreement to transfer $2.5 million to the City of San Diego to upgrade and extend the boat launch ramp at El Capitan Reservoir.
This improvement will ensure uninterrupted entry to the El Capitan Reservoir for boaters, anglers, and families by mitigating the impact of fluctuating reservoir water levels. Furthermore, this partnership between the County and the City of San Diego reflects a thoughtful and responsible approach to strengthening our region’s recreational infrastructure.
El Capitan Reservoir is one of San Diego County’s premier outdoor recreation destinations, serving thousands of County residents each year.
In addition to enhancing recreational activities at the reservoir, this collaboration is expected to increase visitation and generate positive economic impacts for both the City and businesses located near El Capitan. This includes bait and tackle shops, restaurants, convenience stores, and other establishments that serve visitors and residents.
As a result of these benefits, I strongly encourage the Board to support this partnership and approve the transfer of funds to the City of San Diego to enhance the safe, reliable, and equitable access to El Capitan Reservoir.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
Name
City, Zip code
