West side property acquisition

Questioned why the letter of intent was signed before commission authorization and asked whether a $6 million fire assessment should come first.

Suggested uses for the 5-acre site — park, supermarket, boutique downtown — and warned against a Live Local Act project without public say.

Called Item 21 'good process' and Item 20 'skipping it,' urging a due-diligence cap, stated uses, funding plan, and a West Side Master Plan.

Asked what the city's vision is, questioned taking on debt, and urged higher-end housing rather than more affordable housing.

Grateful the city is considering the purchase but opposed a Live Local project; wants mixed-income, mixed-use proposals and item 21 advanced.

Read a long list of unanswered questions — intended use, funding source, budget, LOI timing — and said the item should be a 'no' until residents get answers.
