Will Fairfield City Council Candidates Keep City's Promise?

The Mayor & Most Fairfield City Council Candidates Have Not Yet Clearly Stated If They Will "Try" To Keep The City's Promise. We Expect More Info Soon. 


City Council Candidate Brian Travis Has Given The Clearest "Yes" Answer So Far.

 

Who Will Keep Fairfield’s Promise To 

Create Jobs By Redeveloping West Texas Street?

West Texas St is Visitor’s 1^st Impression Driving into Downtown Fairfield

Install “Downtown Fairfield” Sign On I-80 To Create Jobs

Certain Fairfield City Council Candidates And Council Members May Promise To The Following Draft. Some Suggested You Wait Another 20 Years.

Future I-80 Downtown Fairfield Sign To Create Jobs:

• Capture Lost Business: Highway I-80 drivers can be targeted to spend money in our downtown.

• Install I-80 sign after the West Texas St gateway to downtown is finished: Half the Solano Mall sign size.

• Place “Downtown Fairfield” directional signs where practical.

Seek West Texas St Redevelopment Grants:

• Improvement grants are available. City will submit over five new grants a year. The city will place the highest priority on keeping its promised to improve Fairfield’s main gateway.

Street & Landscaping Improvements:

• Plans: Use the city’s paid West Texas St redevelopment plans for nice landscaping, and street median strip with landscaping. $18 Million.

• Use city gateway studies & plans already paid for: Plans nicely show West Texas Street leading to and thru downtown to the modern Solano County office building.  The entry segment from I80 to Pennsylvania remains uncompleted.

Building Facade Improvements:

$80,000 loans to each property. Low government backed interest rates. Will increase business and jobs.

Verifying City Gets Results:

City staff will provide clear monthly progress reports. Every quarter, the City Council will publicly report all grant attempts and progress made.

Who Might Keep The West Texas St Promise?: (below names Not yet verified)

• Brian Travis, Council candidate – hopefully

• Cat Moi, councilman - probably

• Chuck Timm, Councilman & candidate – hopefully

• Harry Price, Mayor – hopefully

• John Mraz, councilman – hopefully

• Pam Bertani, Council candidate – hopefully

• Rick Vaccaro, Councilman & candidate – hopefully

The city is seriously considering a plan to rob West Texas Street property owners the right to make many major improvements by changing zoning laws.  This then lets developers buy the property for less value 20 years later, and make bigger profits at the property owner's expense. Is it fair to change the city's promise then in effect rob Fairfield property owners who fell for Harry Price's dog pony tactics? 

So far it appears the following chose not to commit to this promise (at least a clear email from them has not been received on this subject):  
• Fairfield Mayor Harry Price
• Rick Vaccaro (voted by Harry Price and others onto the Fairfield City Council). 
• Pam Bertani
