The Rancho Bernardo Community Council will hold a combined meeting for November and December at 7 p.m. Thursday at the RB Library, 17110 Bernardo Center Dr.

On the agenda (a full agenda is attached):

• Rebuilding "Green": Jacques Lord, who lost his Luz Road home in the 2007 wildfires, will talk about rebuilding in an environmentally-conscious way, and how to improve your home.

"We're a band of brothers in a very exclusive club that has high initiation rates," Lord told Patch.
• Meet on Saturday?: The council is considering moving its meetings to Saturdays to increase attendance. "We wanted to get input from the RBCC members to see if they would like to 'experiment' with either having a meeting, a presentation, or both on a Saturday. We would try it out probably in [February] if they agree and go from there," said Robin Kaufman, council president, in an email. "[The] main concern over the years is that we have such great presentations, but little audience. We are trying to see if a change in date may increase the size of the audience."
• Other items: Website presentation; Spirit of the Fourth; community map; Mercado sign update; .
