Issa apologizes for comment BY JOE TASH U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, RVista, has apologized for his comment — made in a March 22 article in the Rancho Santa Fe Review — that a House colleague told an “outright lie” at a committee hearing on contraception last month.

Sale of The Inn might be finalized next week Escrow on the sale of The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is expected to close April 10, according to RSF Association President Jack Queen. The Royce family, which has owned the property for more than 50 years, decided to sell the property last fall. The Inn sits on a 21-acre property along Linea Del Cielo at the entrance to the Rancho Santa Fe village. As reported by the Review in January, the buyer of the property is the JMI Realty Group, whose president, John Kratzer, lives in the Covenant. According to Queen, representatives of JMI will be at the Association’s board meeting on April 19 “to formally present both their short term and long-term plans to the community.” For more, see the RSF Association Buzz column on page 2 and next week’s RSF Review.

The RSF Golf Club is entering its final phase of hiring a new general manager for the club, according to RSF Association Manager Pete Smith. “We anticipate that we will have a new general manager on board by the end of April,” said Smith, who has been serving as the club’s interim manager, in addition to his duties as RSF Association manager. The new general manager will fill the position left vacant when former general manager Steve Nordstrom resigned last fall for “personal reasons.” A professional search firm was hired to help find the ideal candidate, Smith said.
