Newspaper Article
Colonies accord contested
2007
Overview
[C. Robert Ferguson]'s letter was received only days before the Board of Supervisors is slated to take steps toward a bond that would provide $80million to pay off the remaining debt to the Colonies and another $22million to replenish the flood-control agency's emergency reserves. The bond comes before the board at its meeting Tuesday. At its Nov. 28 meeting, the board was slated to consider a settlement that would have given the Colonies surplus county land. Instead, it announced that it had approved the cash deal over the objections of supervisors Josie Gonzales and Dennis Hansberger. Getting a court to force the county to rescind the settlement based on an open-meeting violation would be an uphill battle, said Terry Francke, Californians Aware's general counsel. A clause in the Brown Act states that even if a violation of the law took place, a court cannot rescind a legislative body's actions if it would hurt a third party such as the Colonies.
