Mr. McDonnell
Janice Cader-Thompson, Petaluma, stated the Council does know
who the investors are. Feels the City should build a recreation
project there - let soccer and baseball do fundraisers - and do
something for our youth.
Harry Clifford, Petaluma, working as a volunteer with the
Recreation, Music, and Parks Commission, would like to see the
RESA lease expire but would like the land delegated for
recreational use. The City could do a lot with it and grant writing,
fund raising, etc., could help.
