NOTE THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING HAS 2 PUBLIC MEETINGS
EMINENT DOMAIN (CAN THEY TAKE YOUR HOUSE OR BUSINESS)
AND
SEX OFFENDERS REGULATION AND REGISTRATION BY THE CITY
BUT
THE CITY CAN'T PROVIDE THE PROPOSED ORDINANCES
OR "REGULATIONS" ON THE CITY'S WEB SITE
The next GT City Council Meeting has on the agenda a Public Meeting Regarding the Redevelopment Agency's authority to use Eminent Domain. (The Forced Taking of Private Property by the Redevelopment Agency.) The "Redevelopment Plan" has been negated several times by changes by City Council and Redevelopment Agency Action to the extent one could argue there is no Plan, and or no Plan is being followed as any time a "Preferred Developer" or Designated Developer or the RDA wants a change to "The Plan" the "Plan" is changed. The location of the Senior Housing and New Senior Center is an example of this. The approved construction of CVS and MIGUELS do not match the "Plan" for exterior features to the RDA Design Plan. The Plan also has the Removal of Grand Terrace Elementary School. The school's planned removal by the RDA and the City Planning Department was News to the School District and some of the City Council Members but the Planning maps still have that area as Commercial Property not Public School. Perhaps this is so the ABC Board will not exclude more Alcohol Licenses in "New Developments" near the school.
