Important Things on the 01/26/2006 Agenda

The Staff Report on the Issue of the assessment of the value of Jo Springfields Property and the clear disclosure of the "Deal" the City has with the "Family Holdings" is a sample of the one sided reports given to the Council in preparation for a meeting. Shouldn't the Staff also present to the Council Members that Jo does not want to sell at any Price? If she must convert the use of the property from Residential to Commercial, should not she have the opportunity to do so, rather than a Second Party. Shouldn't she be the one to determine how to earn an income from that asset.

The ownership of property is a basic right in this country. Don't let the Council use their power force a sale of property from one private person to another. It is JUST WRONG

There are other interesting items on the Agenda.

Who wants the City to Spend the Money for a Fakey Grand Terrace Days Event? How much money will be spent to bring outsiders to entertain us for a day. Sure, Pay for the expenses of the CJUSD bands to perform. Include the elementary school bands. But, come on.. Lucy and Ricky... what has that got to do with Grand Terrace.

How about paying the local Sports Teams to put on Grand Terrace Days.

The next issue of concern is the "Redirection of Funds" of the Community Block Grand Funds.
When the words Redirection of Funds are used there is a problem.

Please attend the Council Meeting. Let the council know, you would like to have all the Staff Reports to Council made PUBLIC before the MEETING, on the CITY web PAGE...
