[4. PUBLIC COMMENT]
COMMENT ON OUR ONE ITEM 5.1.MR. TECH UCK HERE, WELCOME COUNCIL MEMBERS ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROPERTY FOR OVER 25 YEARS, URGE YOU TO DIRECT STAFF TO SELL THE PARCELS AT WEST 23RD STREET AVENUE.
THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS THAT YOU SHOULD CITE TO ALLOW FOR LEASE OF THESE PROPERTIES.
THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY SHOULD NOT BE A LANDLORD OF THESE PROPERTIES.
BUSINESS INTERESTS SHOULD INVEST IN OUR CITY AND NOT GET A SWEETHEART DEAL WITH A LEASE.
ADDITIONALLY, THE SEQUAN NATION SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT FOR ANY MORE PROPERTIES IN NATIONAL CITY.
THESE ARE NOT THE POSITIONS THAT YOU SHOULD PUT FUTURE NATIONAL CITY INTO.
YOU HEARD, UH, AT THE APRIL AND OCTOBER MEETINGS LAST YEAR, YOU HEARD THAT LEASE OF THIS PROPERTY IS VERY COMPLICATED.
MR. RALSTON GAVE THOSE EX EXPLANATIONS TO BUY OUT.
OTHER INTERESTED ENTITIES WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND THAT MONEY WOULD COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO LEASE THIS PROPERTY.
YOU OWN 18% OF THIS PROPERTY IS, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE AMOUNT WAS.
SO IT WAS PRICED IN THE MILLIONS TO BUY A OUT TO LEASE THIS PROPERTY WOULD MAKE YOU A LANDLORD.
AND THAT'S AN IDEA THAT'S BEEN IN THE NEWS LATELY.
AND ON THE DAS, THE WORD LANDLORD, WE'VE HEARD YOU SAY THIS MANY A TIME LATELY.
THIS IS THE WORD IN NATIONAL CITY WOULD BE A LANDLORD IN THIS CASE TO LEASE.
THIS WOULD MAKE YOU POSSIBLY A BUSINESS PARTNER.
AND I DON'T WANT MY CITY, THIS COMMUNITY I LIVE IN BEING A BUSINESS PARTNER WITH A CANNABIS OPERATOR.
I DON'T WANT CANNABIS ON THIS PROPERTY AT ALL.
IN FACT, FOR FUTURE GUIDANCE OF THE FUTURE USES OF THE PROPERTY, PLEASE REFER TO AN EARLIER DOCUMENT THAT WAS PRODUCED IN THE CITY'S REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY IN 2002.
IT'S CALLED THE MARINA GATEWAY PLACE, NATIONAL CITY HARBOR DISTRICT REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS.
MR. MARTINEZ MAY HAVE WORKED ON THIS IN AN EARLIER TIME HERE.
HOPE YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE STILL.
THIS DOCUMENT CALLS FOR NUMEROUS POSSIBLE USES, INCLUDING RESTAURANTS, RETAIL, LIVE WORK, LOFTS.
WE HAVE HOUSING PROBLEMS. YOU TALK ABOUT SELLING YOUR CITY PROPERTIES FOR HOUSING.
YOU HAVE A LIST OF FIVE OR SIX PROPERTIES AROUND TOWN THAT YOU WANT TO SELL, AND NOW YOU'VE SWITCH AND YOU, YOU FLIP TO, I WANNA LEASE IT.
AND YOU, AND YOU WANT HOUSING.
AND NOW YOU DON'T WANNA PUT HOUSING WHERE YOU COULD HAVE PUT HOUSING.
THIS PROPERTY SHOULD NOT IN ANY CASE, BE USED OR SOLD FOR THE PURPOSE OF CANNABIS SALES.
THIS DOCUMENT SHOULD NOT BE LEFT ON THE SHELF TO COLLECT DUST, FIND IT, AND READ WHAT EARLIER RESPONSIBLE PLANNING CALLED FOR.
WITH THAT, WE HAVE NO OTHER SPEAKERS.
