📰 News we're reading

• Del Mar resolution accepts fire inspections report (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Del Mar residents can take some comfort knowing the city completed 100% of its 31 state-mandated fire inspections for 2025, covering apartments, hotels, and a school. City Council formally accepted the report, which details how the Fire Department's annual inspections aim to reduce hazards and keep buildings in compliance with California fire codes.
   

• Del Mar Fairgrounds Board votes to end affordable housing negotiations (cbs8.com) — Del Mar's plan to meet state affordable housing mandates hit a major snag after the Del Mar Fairgrounds Board voted 5-3 to end talks on a 61-unit project on fairgrounds land. City leaders say the decision jeopardizes a key 2026 deadline and may force housing onto bluff properties instead, while urging the board to reconsider at its September 15 meeting.
