Mark,
As discussed on the phone, the stop signs have been installed and the
street has been painted.
No public meeting, no information provided to the Rio Linda News to
publicize the public meeting that wasn't held, and already the people
going south who are now obliged to stop are going through the gears as
they accelerate going by my house.
I am very disappointed. Speaking for the County, you gave me your word
that a public meeting would be announced and held. I told others that
what you had done is an example of the new approach of the County, and
that we need to give you and DNS an opportunity to prove that you mean
what you say.
Unfortunately what I see now is a shining example of the "old County";
that is, "We know better what is best for Rio Linda than do the
residents of Rio Linda." After all, our supervisor has been quoted by
many as saying "they have a victim mentality" when referring to Rio
Linda Elverta. Maybe we have a reason to think that way.

Mark,
To confirm our conversation today, I appreciate the call from Mr. Lupe
Rodriguez accepting responsibility for the installation of stop signs
adjacent to my property on Second Street in Rio Linda without benefit
of the County hosted public meeting you agreed would take place before
the installation of the signs.
Unfortunately, the signs were installed exactly in the manner I
suggested to you would occur; the decision would be made by the
County's Mr. Stosich, not as a result of any community meeting.
I don't know what the County does to remove stop signs, but whatever it
is won't be helped if we delay the process.
Mr. Rodriguez suggested that we three could meet prior to a public
meeting to discuss this issue. As I suggested, we may certainly meet
here at my residence if a mutually acceptable time can be found; I am
very flexible.
The sooner the better. Let's not make bad things worse.
Jay
