See Council update regarding Oso Creek Golf Course, Public Open Space Vision Plan and rumor mill
If you missed Tuesday’s City Council meeting that focused on the Oso Creek Golf Course and Public Open Space Vision Plan and lease revenue bonds for the Core Area Vision Plan, the video is now online.
During the meeting, proposed ideas of what could be accomplished in the future for the Oso Creek Golf Course and Public Open Space Vision Plan were presented by a City consultant. The Council took the following actions:
(1) Received and filed the report; (2) approved the near term (2-4 year) project recommendations for consideration in the corresponding annual budget adoption processes; and (3) will look at just the 4-6 years beyond that from a staff planning budgetary standpoint. In a separate move, the Council approved the issuance of Mission Viejo Community Development Financing Authority Lease Revenue Bonds for the Core Area Vision Plan.
Council Members and City Manager Dennis Wilberg also took the opportunity to dispel false statements and misinformation distributed by some in town.
“I wanted to thank Mayor Kelley and the Council for last night’s council meeting and the topics of the Vision Plan and associated bond,” said Brian H. on the City’s news article. “We, like many of our neighbors, had some distressing flyers dropped on our doorstep. I appreciated the calm elucidation from the Mayor and the Council Members for constituents like myself who were not privy to the history of the Vision Plan and Bond measure. I especially appreciated the time taken to reiterate the facts and dispel the gross misrepresentations of the rumor mill which brought so many people in last night. Not one for apathy or inaction, I felt it prudent to come down last night and see for myself if the alleged lack of transparency and integrity were real. I was relieved to find no such thing and I am now excited about the Vision Plan. For anyone caught up in or distressed by the rumors circulating about the Council and the Vision Plan/Bond, please attend a City Council meeting! I am sure you will find relief and even excitement. The plan is bold, progressive, and with residents’ best interest at heart. I can’t wait to see the changes!”
As always, community members are encouraged to get involved, take part in meetings, and stay on top of the latest news and accurate information through the City’s website, eNewsletter and official social media sites.
