n DON'T LET THEM TRICK YOU n
The CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER ARE CHERRY PICKING WHAT GOES ON THE AGENDA.
THEY ARE AVOIDING ISSUES WHICH MAY MAKE COUNCIL MEMBERS FERRE, COUNCIL MEMBER CORTES, AND COUNCIL MEMBER GARCIA FROM HAVING TO PUBLICLY STATE THEIR POSITION ON CHANGING THE CITY'S EMINENT DOMAIN ORDINANCE, OR EVEN COMING OUT TO SUPPORT EMINENT DOMAIN REFORM ON THE COUNTY OR STATE LEVELS. THEY DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS OF THE CRA'(s) Plans and Pending Plans. THEY ARE JUST VAMPING OR MARKING TIME UNTIL THE ELECTION PASSES IN THE HOPES THE PUBLIC WILL BE FOOLED.
I SURE HOPE THERE WILL BE A DEBATE BEFORE THE ELECTION.
YES I AM SHOUTING.

Well here is the Commentary:
This City Council Meeting Agenda suggests an attempt to hold back any and all topics or issues that may be opportunity for certain Council Members embarrass themselves by making known their position on the topics and issues.

This IGNORANCE is NOTED, and its Perpetuation Apparently Serves the Political Advantage of Council Member Ferre, Council Member Garcia, Council Member Cortes.
THIS is WHY YOU SHOULD SIGN THE RECALL PETITIONS AND WORK TO RECALL & REPLACE & REFORM THE CITY COUNCIL IN GRAND TERRACE.
