[ReinadelosReys]

Thank you Blake Ellington.

Thank you Jimmy Yee.

 

[NoBonus]

Jimmie Yee is "very pleased" with this proposal and is proud to be part of this process.

 

[NoBonus]

Supplement vs Supplant has come up! Do these people work in my office?

 

[NoBonus]

Phil Serna is up...

 

[Kingsguy881]

She referred to the downtown railyards as a "gem". And explained she got lost in the PBP parking lot.

It's a gem of waste, sure. And if you are dumb enough to admit you got lost in a parking lot.....

 

[NoBonus]

Phil Serna is up...

Seems to be pushing back against some of the nay-sayers on the premise that they did not read the proposal/do not know what they are talking about... but all in politician-ese.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Serna moves to adopt the resolution...

 

[NoBonus]

Serna and Yee have committed to supporting the measure... still in the comments phase, though.

Always liked Serna.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

MacGlashan is going to vote no....

2-1 so far

 

[NoBonus]

Roberta MacGlashian <sp?> is up; the increase of funding to parks seems to be tying their hands; how can they vote against more ongoing $$ for regional parks?

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Always liked Serna.

And his dad.

Serna and Yee, not surprising in the least bit. It's the others that are worrying me though

 

[NoBonus]

You heard it here first Roberta MacGlashan is anti more money for regional parks.

 

[NoBonus]

Susan Peters just KO'd MacGlashan's whole set of comments.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Not to get off topic, but just ran into KJ walking up J st and thanked him and asked when we're breaking ground on the new arena, he said beginning of 2013.

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Peters votes yes!

3-1!!!!

 

[NoBonus]

Sounds like Peters is going to vote for it...

 

[Kingsguy881]

And his dad.

Joe Serna, excellent!

 

[Kingsguy881]

Did you apologize for running into him?

 

[NoBonus]

4-1

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Nottoli votes yes!!!!!

4-1!!!!

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Note: This really just means that they will allow county staff to just explore it and then come back with a proposal. Nothing set in stone.

So, one small battle won.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Peters votes yes!

3-1!!!!

Thats majority right??

 

[NoBonus]

Don Nottoli is the 4th vote for it.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Did you apologize for running into him?

Hahaha.

 

[upinsmoke]

Are they done?

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Indeed...but in the end I don't see the the ones who voted for this changing for the final vote.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Always liked Serna.

His father Joe Serna, (late) former mayor of Sac saved Kings in Sac first time back in 1997 by getting through original loan to franchise and Jim Thomas (former owner). Phil Serna it might be said is only behind Mayor KJ and papa Joe in keeping hope alive for Kings in Sac. A big shout out to Jimmie Yee as well.

I like this point, "I lived in Paris and they don't need a basketball arena to make that city great"... thanks crazy blue vest lady! Now I really understand the truth.

She referred to the downtown railyards as a "gem". And explained she got lost in the PBP parking lot.

Sorry I'm late on this, but how did she survive in the complexities of Paris if she got lost in a parking lot?

Maybe that's why she never managed to find her way to this:

Spoiler

Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy indoor sports arena

or this

Spoiler

Stade de France

or any of Paris' other more than half dozen sports related venues (including 2 other soccer stadiums).
