Gary, Katrina and Allan R. did a great job last week when they went to Sacramento to present the
Governor's aides with the City's proposal to purchase the Fairgrounds. Actually, I was prepared for the worst since rumors circulated last week that other interests were competing with us. But our team brought back good news that we have thirty days to finish the entire plan.
The City will not take on ANY debt. Meetings with interested parties who will commit to generate the revenue to purchase the Fair, are expected to take place this week.
I am not dismayed by Councilman Bever's decision to not go forward. That is his choice. If it looks like it won't be in the City's best interest to structure a deal, then I believe the Council will have the good sense to not move forward. The door is still open and we will go through it. If the door closes--the Governor's people may not like the City's proposal---- we know we have done our very best to try to preserve our beloved OC Fairgrounds and we can go on with our lives knowing we tried.
