Meeting Rescheduled:

The Special Joint Meeting with the CRA/City Council and Planning Commission that was scheduled to be held on Thursday, March 23, 2006 has been canceled. This meeting will be rescheduled to April 13, 2006.

With the past display of preferance and defferance to Jacobsen Family Holdings is it a coincidence that the Mailing Campain to gain a Display of Public support for their Exclusive Development of the area know as Town Center was delayed to benefit Jacobsen Family Holdings presentation.

Is it possible that the Lack of a SIGNED Stater Brothers Lease as represented by the City Manager and Redevelopment Agency Director, Tom Schwab caused the need for Jacobsen Family Holdings to be more careful with their representions to the public?

Is it Possible that the Mailer's Misrepresntation of the Facts and Design of the Current Plan befor the Planning Commission is so far from a fair representation they had to REVISE the Date of the Meeting.

Is it Possible that Jacobsen Family Holdings is NOT DONATING the LIBRARY as apparently some Council Members and Friends of the Library Thought?

Some how in my gut, I don't think the meeting was rescheduled to accomodate Jo Stringfields presentation, or ability to fully participate as a citizen property owner of a piece of land in a Redevelopment Plan, and Area.

I think it is a further attempt to mislead the public to suggest that Jo Stringfield asked for or someway caused the city to reschedule the meeting. I think the City or Jacobesen Family Holdings wanted more time to collect their mailings, have the Friends of the Library collect signatures based on the faulty idea that there would be a FREE DONATED LIBRARY Building IF JACOBSEN is the developer. I think JACK BROWN may be giving a thought as to the character of Tom Schwab and Doug Jacobsen.

Given the other indicators and past behavior there is no reason to believe the City Manager's Honesty, or the Integrety of Jacobsen Family Holdings.

I wonder if the Not Returned Ballots of the Jacobsen Family Holdings Missleading Mailers will be counted as NO votes against Jacobsen Family Holdings being the Developer Exclusively of the Town Center.

It is not only a question of WHAT gets built, but also HOW, WHO, and to WHO's Benefit or Detriment. It is a question of how the City Protects the PROPERTY RIGHTS of Citizens and Businesses in the City. It is an issue larger than Jo Stringfield vs Jacobsen Family Holdings. Larger than Lowes, Larger than an Uber Stater Brothers Market. That's an ISSUE not Politics.

Isn't it interesting that no one at the City Notified this Blog that the Meeting had changed. When in fact it is known that members of the Council, and City Staff read this blog, and have in the past asked that things be posted. This shows further disregard for the citizens and just plain rudeness on their part.
