January Weirdness
JANUARY HAS BEEN WEIRD...
January seems to be a month full of strangeness for the Costa Mesa City Council. You will recall, for example, that the whole Benito Acosta affair took place during the first meeting of January four years ago. The lawsuits as a result of that event were finally resolved last month.
DOUBLE YOUR FUN
This month the first two business days of the year will involve two separate City Council meetings.
SPECIAL MEETING IN SACRAMENTO ON FAIRGROUNDS SALE
The first, on Monday, January 4th, will take place in Sacramento at 11:15 a.m. in the Governor's Cabinet Room in the State Capitol Building. "What", you ask, "is going on here?" Well, because a majority of the city council - Mayor Allan Mansoor, Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Leece and Councilwoman Katrina Foley - will be present at the meeting with the governor, it is necessary for it to be an "official" council meeting or risk violation the Brown Act.
CONVINCING ARNOLD TO "JUST SAY NO SALE"
The purpose of this meeting, which will be attended by City Manager Allan Roeder too, is to try to convince the governor to cancel the sale of the Orange County Fair and Events Center, preferably before the bids are opened on January 14th. Our municipal team has approximately 30 minutes to convince the governor that virtually no one in Orange County want the Fairgrounds sold.
ANTICIPATING NEWS...
I don't know their plan, except that each of the council members will be participating. And, I don't expect to hear much until the next day, when the whole council convenes for it's regularly scheduled meeting on the 5th. If any of you loyal readers plan to attend Monday's meeting in Sacramento, please give me a shout when it's over to let me know how things went.
TUESDAY'S MEETING SHOULD BE SHORT
The second meeting, on Tuesday, looks pretty tame and probably will last less than an hour - unless there is a lengthy report on the Monday meeting.
STARTING OFF WITH A BANG!
So, off we go into a new year with one of the biggest issues of the past decade staring us squarely in the face. Let's hope our elected leaders are up to the task of convincing the governor that selling the Fairgrounds is a bad idea. More news when it's available.
