TOMORROW: Day Reporting Center for Felons in Vallejo - 7pm on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012

  McCormack Hall in the Solano County Fairgrounds, 900 Fairgrounds Drive - directions: http://www.scfair.org/

(I'm having Solano Fair Grounds send me better information for those of us who have not been to the fairgrounds before. I'll send it on second email.)

• According the county, Vallejo is getting the 'pilot' center for services for those felons released to the county from prisons by AB109, but no one from Vallejo is on the steering committee who made this decision. Come here what the county has to say

 

THURSDAY: SOLANO 360 - 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 15, 2012

County Building at the Solano County Fairgrounds, 900 Fairgrounds Drive in Vallejo - directions:http://www.scfair.org/ 

• It appears that this financing plan proposes that Vallejo spend $24M on infrastructure bonds with no good way---not even a suggested way---to pay them off.  

• We just got out of bankruptcy. With 82% of our budget going out on salaries, how will Vallejo pay this bill?

• Info from Agency in charge: Agenda for Nov 1: http://www.solanocounty.com/civicax/filebank/blobdload.aspx?blobid=14399.  The meeting includes a presentation and discussion of the Draft Specific Plan and the Draft Environmental Impact Report, which can be found at http://www.solanocounty.com/solano360/reports.asp. For more information, please visit the project website at www.solanocounty.com/solano360.

 

THURSDAY: November 15, is the deadline to answer the question, "What are your priorities for community development and housing in Vallejo?"

Have Your Say on Open City Hall on the City of Vallejo website: http://www.ci.vallejo.ca.us/GovSite/default.asp?serviceID1=1022&Frame=L1

• CDBG funds are being used for job development in other cities, but in Vallejo, they are used primarily for street repairs and upgrades with some support going to social services. I think this city needs job training for those that it serves. What do you think Vallejo needs?

sparky   |November.16.2012 Outsource most of the work to a competent contractor then and only then will we see real accountability and a Council that is respected . We need performance based "working groups"held accountable by rigid contract law not this willy nilly I got mine halfassed broken wheel pretending to be a Government crap we have put up with for decades "bold change is needed" otherwise we will continue on the path to bankruptsey "talk about recidivism"

tramky   |November.16.2012 It doesn't matter what Vallejo 'needs'. What matters is that the bloated salaries and over-generous retirement benefits of Vallejo city employees get paid, and, as always, City Hall views the Federal gravy train as the best way to get that. The point made about the number of employees in Vallejo's housing agency compared to that number in the City Planning Department, and you know everything you need to know about this town and its future.

Open City Hall - How   |November.14.2012 With the recent armed robbery from people living in 201 Maine. A very strict and ongoing implementation of background and criminal record check is needed but HAS NOT BENN done. I wanted to leave a statement about this being the priority for CDBG and went to Open City Hall ...No where for input. Do I need to register before I can submit my comments?

Dusty w otero   |November.13.2012 Did I read 86 percent of your budget ,,that way too much,,,it should be around 38 percent,,,

Dusty w otero   |November.13.2012 How much of the budget,,82 percent wow not right thats for sure,,,police and fire should be 37 percent and no more,,,

tramky   |November.13.2012 The City of Vallejo hasn't seen a Federal grant it doesn't like. This began with 142 years of having the Naval Shipyard, which brought millions of dollars to the City each year, suckling the Vallejo pig. When the Shipyard went away, and those millions went away, this town continued on its Federal-money hunt. The fact that there are over a dozen employees at the Housing Authority and the City has just 2 Planners and 2 staff involved with Economic Development tells you everything you need to know about the priorities of this City. It is absolutely outrageous & ridiculous. Napa has something like 9 Planners, Vallejo has 2!! Look at the budgets, look at the staffing levels. The story of Vallejo is in those numbers.
