County gets 60 days before Conaway Ranch sale
From the Woodland Record:
Despite headlines elsewhere, The Conaway Preservation Group is not advertising the sale of its Conaway Ranch until Yolo County has an opportunity to acquire the property in whole or in part. A settlement agreement penned between CPG and the county in September, 2006, prohibits the partnership to offer the ranch for sale until the county has exercised its exclusive right to negotiate with CPG.

Interesting Conaway is where they are proposing to get surface water from.
Questions: How much growth will this allow.
What will the impact to farmers be
Why would UC Davis be interested given the massive wells on their properties
Oh yeah, while we are being furloughed, where do the Stupid-visors propose getting the money?
Well before it was the tribethat was willing to help fund the money.
Now that they pissed them off the burned that bridge after raiding their money from the actm funds and using the tribes money to fight the tribe.
If I were the tribe I would buy it and they would have the upper hand over the county.
Isn't karma a bitch !!
Part II of the Bigger Blue Shield Scandal, County not to be out done by a school district, plans to bury taxpayers under a mountain of debt. This is the book end to the Change Obama promised.
I hope the tribe buys it and keeps the natural resources for their benefit, maybe put a part two Conway Ranch Casino there.
Pretty slick and you have missed it. The Blue Shield building deal is small potatos compared to this.
Here is what really happened:
County & cities move to buy Conway Ranch.
Slick developer jumps in, creats public outcry that negates local government ablity to buy the property.
A few years later after no investment in the property, slick developer will sell. My guess is $30 to $40 million profit. Not bad for four years.
So who are we mad at - for me it is the slick developer.
Don't blame the tribe or the supervisors. Blame the people who got the free meal (tritip BBQ) from the developer then sang his pathetic song.
Now that the developer wants to sell the ranch there will be no argument from them about growth, etc. That was just a red herring argument to facilitate public outcry.
That said there is a huge financial upside to owning the property.
note: slick developer is a term I use to draw attention and is not intended to cast dispersion on people who just want to save us from ourselves.
For once, let's sit back and let our local officials do their job. They are really on our side.
County purchase Conaway with what IOU's. They spend a million dollar last time and how much will they waste this time. Beautiful 17,000 acre County Park
I'm not sure there will be any takers in this economy. So it may well get foreclosed upon. Too bad, really, since the CPG plan for habitat was good.
