There is only one way that Gramps would accept the idea of acquiring the land designated as the potential site for a West Side Park. That condition is that Doug Jacobsen Donates the land to the city or sell's it to the city for 1.00.
To spend any State Grand Funds or Funds of the City or the RDA to purchase that land is a kick back to Doug Jacobsen. It also remember was land he acquired in order to replace the Mobile Home Units he removed on Michigan. So Stater's whom Jacobsen was an agent should now assume the responsibility of providing low and middle income housing don't you think?.
Jacobsen's obligations and promises he made in public should all transfer to Stater's who has bought the entire development area.
If we lose the grant money because Jacobsen does not donate the land, so be it. The State of California should not be paying off Jacobsen any more than Grand Terrace should. Of course he'd get a tax right off, and in my opinion that is generous enough.
