The Oroville City Council Meeting  last nite was well attended  by concerned citizens and business people. All of which seemed in Favor of this, since none spoke against it except for 1 council member who rendered a no vote even tho he said he was in favor of the proposal. A Majority of the Council Members approved the 3 resolutions which will lead to a sewer extention across the Thermalito Power Canal at the North end of Table Mountain Blvd.— During the discussions Weldon C. Larson, Senior Partner/Principal at Hignell Development Group, Inc. said his company had already spent $300,000 so far, not including the price of the land they bought,  to get this far with the permit process, that has taken years, just to get this far.— With the permit facing expiration in early September unless the groundbreaking actually commenced— It was an important decision that the council members faced.– Looking at Long Term Vision to Promote Growth and Potential for Local Jobs (Probably Clean Green) —Either take a chance and help provide the  sewer extension, priming that area for development.— One thing is for sure—If you do not lay the ground work they will  not come.— So A Majority of the Council Members Voted in Favor of those Resolutions. —Now the 237 lot subdivision map should get approval.— It is an important decision for our community that our city council is opening the door to promote growth here in Oroville.— Supervisor Bill Connelly, Gary Ott and a Reverend (sorry don’t know his name) spoke in favor of this groundbreaking decision.— Thanx to the Realtors who supported this and attended the meeting. — Promote Growth and Jobs for Oroville.—I think the City Council made the right decision for us all.—
