Hello All.<BR/><BR/>The preserving Yolo County agricultural land ideology is gone.<BR/><BR/>1. The Urban Limit Line took in Churchill Downs area for industrial expansion. Matt Rexroad as Mayor of Woodland - touted the ULL will protect our ag. land from urbanization. It is a short distance to run the water adn sewer. Well Matt here you go urbanizing the county, your district. <BR/><BR/>2. This

Happy New Year Everyone. <BR/><BR/>So if we continue to allow building in this designated flood plain area. Is the city/county doing so with the intent that they would then be forced to do some sort of flood protection measure in the future to protect more jobs and therefore get more money from these industrial companies.<BR/><BR/>If you remember that was what the city was claiming that

Anon 9:50 Thank you. You are absolutely correct.

Gee willikers, "Just the Facts":<BR/><BR/>EIR experts and "absurd comparisons to speeding and litter?" Excuse me? Just what do you think the "E" in EIR stands for? It's Environmental.

Just the facts,<BR/><BR/>The K-Mart buiding is in a strip mall. That is a spot for retail. Look at the location of the current school district building to see an example of what would happen... it looks like a slice of Linda.<BR/><BR/>And before anyone takes this out of context...

Fez,<BR/><BR/>You raise a good point about development in the floodplain... however, the risk of locating at the former Spreckels site is being taken by Clark Pacific. What will Yolo County need to do if the business does flood? I'm guessing nothing. Since it's outside Woodland, I'm also guessing the city is off the hook.<BR/><BR/>The article you provided reads like a press release from Lois

QUESTION FOR REXROAD<BR/><BR/>Ok. Thank you for clearing up at least a couple of things. (Though I find it hard to believe that if the City was courting Clark Pacific for 3 years, that you as the former Mayor knew nothing about that.)<BR/><BR/>I am curious who was the fifth City Council member that you did not speak to and why? Did you not call them, or did they did not call you back? Did you

To "THIS IS A REXROAD ISSUE":<BR/><BR/>Get real. You should educated yourself. Spreckles was a much larger operation than this will ever be so in terms of hours of operation, air quality and noise its impact will be less.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I am sorry that people will be affected. I wish people did not speed down my street and that they would drop litter in the street but I have to live with

Ok. I will respond to some of this nonsense. Many of th stuff you state as facts are far from it.<BR/><BR/>Clark Pacific contacted me. I did not contact them. Until just a few weeks ago I had never met anyone from Clark Pacific.<BR/><BR/>Within a few hours of Clark Pacific telling me about their plans I personally spoke to four members of the City Council and the City Manager.<BR/><BR/>Clark

THIS IS A REXROAD ISSUE<BR/><BR/>Mr.Rexroad knew that the City of Woodland staff had been courting Clark Pacific for nearly 3 years. Mr. Rexroad is no longer on the City of Woodland team. Now he answers to the County of Yolo and his political resume needs only to brag about what he accomlishes for the County while in office there. He does not care that he steals the sales and property taxes

I do care and have worked to stop commercial industrial development on Woodland's outskirts where it wasn't zoned properly or was the result of a developer shoe-horning in something just to make more money. I also do care about the elderly and don't wish anyone any harm or discomfort but given the traditional uses of that property

Christmas eve.<BR/><BR/>Here's a thought for all of you. Do we REALLY need more shopping/commecial on the outskirts of Woodland? Shame on you who coudn't care less about the quality of life of those "few" folks out in the county. Some of those elderly people have just a handful of years left to live out their lives and all you can say is, "Well, you should have known when you bought the place

Great points and well said! Yes, it will be a great thing. While I understand the concerns of neighbors who have to live near it they knew when they moved there that a factory was across the street. <BR/><BR/>I also wish we could move beyond approved/disapproving of a project based on which elected official is aligned/non-aligned with it. Shouldn't we grow up just a little and stop playing

Um, small point, but do any of you folks remember when the sugar mill was in full swing? There were a lot of trucks and train cars going in and out of there and the ubiquitous stink to accompany the operation. It was a full on ag-industrial operation. From what I understand, Clark Pacific's operation is clean and in fact isn't noisy or polluting in any way... Come on, they're just pouring

It is probably instructive to note that many of the individuals who live near the former Spreckles plant probably moved there after it closed or they have forgotten what a massive impact it had when it was operational. In season there were many trucks in and out of the place 24 hours a day, plus many employees, noise and lights. It was a busy vibrant place. Frankly, the current activity will

I have to say to "Concerned Woman Voter" that you are wrong about BC. She takes on issues that personally affect her and only those issues. In addition she engages in vicious and under-handed tactics campaign tactics. These are matters of fact not just opinion. BC bought her property knowing that the Spreckles plant was next door. It was there first just as she bought her downtown store

The first I heard about a large scale industrial/commercial district next door to Woodland is when I spoke to our economic devlopment director. Matt loves to bring up BC to explain all opposition to his plans but BC and I are on different pages here.<BR/><BR/>I was under the assumption that Spreckles was being marketed for Ag related reasons (big surprise when Clark Pacific switched sides).<BR/>

What funny comments...First off...it's not a home run I agree with Jeff that it's more of a single. Regardless, everyone knew that site was being marketed for many years and that some quasi-industrial use would go there. This is hardly a surprise. Let's face it, calling Spreckles a pure "ag" site was more than a stretch. However Jeff should be mindful that the County is also looking at
