City Attorney Barrett shared that although there was no closed session discussion on the agenda that afternoon, there was a closed session held on January 16, 2024 to discuss the City’s acquisition of property needed by the City to construct the proposed Trower Avenue Widening Project. For that January 16th closed session, there had now been a final reportable action taken by City Council.
During that January 16th closed session, the Council authorized the City Manager (acting through the Public Works Director) to acquire property from a portion of four parcels located at 2415, 2427, 2433, and 2437 Trower Avenue. The authorization was unanimously approved by City Council on a 4-0 vote (with Mayor Sedgley recusing based on his ownership of property close to the Project Site).
As of March 18, 2024, the City had executed Agreements for the Purchase and Sale of Real Property Interests from two of the four properties located at 2427 and 2433 Trower Avenue. Discussions were ongoing between the City and the owners of the two remaining properties (2415 and 2437 Trower Avenue)

Hello, folks, Park Lightbowen
here, asking you to join our fight to reduce the effects of the latest environmental phenomenon,
commonly known as 'The Load Zone
Effect ".
Yes folks,
due to the disastrously high morbid obesity rate in America, we have reports of huge indentations in American soil, throughout the country. These massive
divots have resulted in
rising sea levels, as we are literally lowering the level of the earth.
Help us to alleviate the
strain by sending less than a dollar a day,
only $28.00 a month, to Load Zone Relief
California. LZRC will
provide much needed, highly processed meals to our calorically challenged friends in Hong Kong, Beijing, and across the mainland China.
Operators are
standing by, folks, help us help you.
Your aid will purchase meals from the likes of Taco Bell China, McDonald franchises
in
the Great Wall area,
Arby's, and more.
Increasing the weight
among those in the Far East will even out the load that Planet out has to bear.
So remember
folks, as you celebrate Earth Day in April, be sure to remember the Load Zone right here in the U
S of
A.
Thank you, and may God bless America !!!!!!!

Mayor Sedgely and Council Members,
We wish to applaud you and your staff on the proposed set aside of moneys to support an update to the Downtown Specific Plan and, we hope, for some updating to the Oxbow District portions of the DTSP. These efforts were envisioned by many of us in the GPAC and were incorporated into the new General Plan as Goals and Policies.
We will be unable to join you this afternoon as we need to help with granddaughters. But we do want to acknowledge and support your efforts.
Thank you all,
Chuck and Felicia Shinnamon
