City Council Meeting 11/2/21
In the Public Comment period former mayor Donald Voss read a portion of a letter written by four former Mayors (Voss, Greg Brown, Laura Olhasso and Steve Del Guercio). The letter was addressed to Mayor Walker, Councilman Gunter, Councilman Eich and Councilman Davitt, and discussed how the 600 Foothill project would be the undoing of our Downtown Village plan that the community worked tirelessly on 20 years ago. The Mayors suggested an alternative path that would meet our current zoning laws, retain the village atmosphere envisioned in the Downtown Village Specific Plan, and still meet the mandated regional housing requirements. The letter posted to the City Council Pubic Comments for the meeting is shown below. It is a powerful statement from four individuals who care deeply about our community.
The City Council voted 4-0 to return to in-person meetings. Councilman Curtis recused himself from this vote after urging from Mayor Terri Walker.
