Senior Center Moved 30 Days and MORE:

Ray Johnson filed a responce to the Senior Center EIR and Plan, and the City Attorney then halted public input or Public Hearings on the Agenda Item for 30 days.

This is so that the "Interested Parties" the Developer and Specialists can look at the document Ray Johnson. Now, here is the rub, how is it that the Agenda can be changed because of one piece of input, not made available to the public? Is the response of Ray Johnson more important than the input of say a CITIZEN? IF the Developer needs to "Defend" a project should not they be in attendance and face the same "Challenge" of responding to last minute meetings?

Fairness in representation, and participation in government.

AES Project meeting Aug 1st... 2007... Council is ASKED to PARTICIPATE.

Citizen requested that all ordinances be read in full, and the Council Voted to Waive the Reading of the Ordinances. (Tree Trimming, and deferred, but on the agenda was the Senior Center/Housing)

Herman Hilkey and the AES Power Plant... the Noise Pollution vs the High School. If there is a Peaker Plant the CJUSD is positioned to move the High School. No quality control for the natural gas.

Roxanne Williams and the AES Power Plant... Resolution of the CJUSD... Concerns in Resolution 7-12... and proposed High School 3... Council Concerns are needed into CEC NOW... not after the preliminary report. Asked again the AES Power Plant be put on the agenda.

Mrs. Anne Wade Hornsby, EIR Jacobsen Group Member working for the City as being a Conflict of Interest. (Correction;; Jameson/Megna)

Patricia Farley: Wake up Public... High School, Property Protection, or Peaker Plant.
General Plan being reworked has proposed rezoning. Not being fully disclosed to the public... Planning department conflict of interest with city employee being also employed by Megna/Jameson Group)

Tony Petta: Great work on being on the list of 100 best city's.


Tom Schwab:
Speeding and traffic. We are addressing that... we will ask them to go over there... radar trailer. and will ask the sheriff to check on it.

AES it is important that the community come to that meeting. CEC is the expert. Putting it out there are just statements. I (Tom Schwab) don't know that. .... Apparently Mr. Schwab will not participate in becoming informed, and will not allow the city council to be informed and comment to or question the CEC or form an opinion. Apparently if Tom Schwab doesn't have an opinion or is not informed sufficiently to Tell the City Council what to do an issue will not get on the agenda. "Leave it to the Experts"... well why bother having a City Council or City Manager if it is not in their job requirement to get informed.

Cable Company is working in GT in unmarked trucks.

Committee Minutes all Approved:

Council Comments of Note:

Garcia/Cortez: A Bit of Movement in support of 215 corridor improvements between RCTC and SanBag

Miller: How many cars can be in a driveway?
AES Powerplant, and Cost Overruns, and Power Plant... all seem to be converging on a conflict.
Consultant will review CJUSD Financial Situation for HS3 vs moving it to alternative site and AES?
