Interesting behind the scenes activity on this issue.

Here is an idea…Hold the county fair at the Dixon Fairgrounds and just out right sell the current Fair site in Vallejo? Divide the money to help Vallejo out of Bankruptcy and to rebuild Solano County Reserves? Just an idea to look at, maybe not a good one.

www dot co dot solano dot ca dot us and click on the 360 project. But it takes a lot of time for just an average citizen to wade through all this and really get the big picture of what is going on. It looks to me like we are spending tons of money on a big park? How is this funded? Follow the money. What true economic advantage is this project to Vallejo and Solano County, not just projections, reality as best we can tell? What about costs of upkeep in the future? It seems to me that Vallejo should be very very careful, the city can not afford to make any more mistakes at this point, since it is already in Bankrupcy. We as a county should move very slowly in analyzing our options here.

Also funding for the project seems merky. Two different types of bond funding are being discussed? With one method, since Vallejo is bankrupt, the collateral for the bonds is the land itself which would be ceded to the developer, if financial probelems arise? See all of this development is very questionable.

Speaking of John Vasquez and Jim Spering are they the only county supervisors on the Board of the Solano 360 Fairgrounds project, are they on this board? Who is on the board of the Fairgrounds project, is it these Supervisors and two Vallejo city council people? The 360 Fair grounds project really deserves some good investigative reporting. Much money has already been spent on Consultants that maybe have failed to deliver. Also I thought we were trying to bridge a fiscal gap county wise, why are we pusuing this now? I t seems the decision making process is in the hands of a small circle of people with no real input from the citizenry. Much, much money stands to be spent and wasted. Who is it that really wants this project? Who is really behind this project? A lot of us would appreciate some answers to these questions. Thank You There are also questions about who is benefiting from the sale of lands associated with the new Train Station off of Peabody road. or the possilbe increase?, in value of land close to the location. Also what about the businesses that might be dislocated due to the train station project, that many of us do not want.
