2020-10-21 City Council Item No. 7 Public Comment - Miller Regular MEETING - Additional Meeting MaterialsMenifee City Council Oct, 21, 2020 Greetings and Prayer for Relief of Covid and Blessing of Rain When you are deep in traffic and the Air Quality is becoming even more visible and more polluted remember the behind the scenes, non transparent alliances that have produced the Theatre, The Stadium at MSJC, Menifee, more tract housing. As Mr. Zimmerman was on the Board of Trustees for MSJC, he helped pass the Stadium. It is rumored that a family member was one of the architects. That could all be changed if the Stadium was called off and the area was planted with drought resistant vegetables like potatoes, beets, Industrial Hemp, alfalfa, non gmo wheat. If agriculture was taught at MSJC complete with tractor training. Instead we have the Mayor helping to approve the non essential, heat producing parking and plastic grass stadium. This is especially unnecessarily when MSJC has a newly remodeled Stadium in San Jacinto. The Founding farmers Hollands, Zeiders, Hauns, etc. will be remembered, the Field destroyers will not. Mr. Rickey Estrada will bring back as much Small Businesses with the Payroll Protection Act, bring back Open Fields with the Native Flowers, after school programs, Innovative transportation, Monthly Community Building Park Days, Farmer’s Market as he can. With incredible synergism Prop. 14 plays a Major Role in the demise of the South Side of Menifee in the General Plan’s Overlay of a Regional Medical Bio-Tech Corridor as if more Buildings on the East Side weren’t traffic generating enough on the I-215, we should rally against Voting for Prop 14. The tip is that 5.5 billion dollars is too much money for Research, Bio Tech Engineers and Doctors in existing Laboratories. 5.5 Billion is for multi story buildings constructed from the ground up creating small cities in San Diego, Murrieta, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Menifee. This is more development jobs for these Developers not long term, living wage jobs for the unemployed like constructing a Monorail up I-215. We must continue to share with friends and family that no services will be effected to Repeal the Measure M which will remove taxes on everything that you buy in Menifee. All police and Fire Personel will be paid and equipped. Menifee is financially solvent without Measure DD. What will be downsized is more infrastructure which allows more development which overcrowds after school programs, stores, schools, and creates more traffic and bad air. There are still farms along the Hollad Street which will be turned to tract housing. The Holland Street Bridge enables the County to build more on the East side of Menifee than they already are. All those cars rushing to work and home flooding onto I-215. A Vote for Prop 15 will help to improve the Quality of Life in California because Companies like Amazon whose worth is a trillion dollars and whose CEO is up to 166 Billion and one of the Companies that doesn’t pay taxes could be taxed by California. That money could go for remodeling schools, for the needs of Hospitals, for the PPEs, paying for the Fire Fighting Debts and Protection, paying to keep payrolls distributed during Covid. We can also buy land that the Farmers like Zeiders of Menifee and hold onto to it until another Farmer wanted to try it or leave for Open Space. That would prevent a lot more traffic in Menifee. A Vote for Prop 21 will lower Rents, Leases, Mortgages which will stimulate the economy because people will have more money to spend on Local Businesses from Restaurants to Grocery Stores, to Churches, to Events to Salons, to Repair Stores, This is fought by Apartment Builders, and Owners and Real Estate Agents and they can downsize their life styles to improve the lives of millions of people by lowering the rent. This will not tax small businesses as it helps small business with lowered Leases. It is a criminal shame that Menifee doesn’t have an ordinance about not removing branches from landscape Maple trees because they have already or will have their branches removed and the tree will be scared and bare for 7 months not providing oxygen or absorbing CO2 or giving evaporation and shade. Winco does this, Bel Aire Estate does this. Create jobs either invent a machine to vacuum the leaves or sweep them up.
