From Solano Together message, sent June 24, 2024

TODAY, June 25, at 2 p.m., the Solano County Board of Supervisors will convene to discuss California Forever’s East Solano Plan. At this meeting, the Board of Supervisors can adopt the Initiative, order a 30-day study, or put the Initiative on the ballot. Attendees will have the opportunity for a public comment and we ask you to urge the Board to conduct a 30-day study of the Initiative.

Our coalition will show up strong and we urge you to do the same and voice your concerns and opposition to the California Forever/East Solano Plan. Here is how you can do it.

Show up for an in-person comment:

• The meeting will take place at the Solano County Administration Center (675 Texas Street in Fairfield) at 2 p.m.
• Arrive early: we recommend arriving as early as noon to save your seat. We anticipate a big turnout and the space has limited capacity.
• Seating will be first-come, first-serve, and participants will receive yellow cards to fill out if they wish to speak.
• Remarks will be limited to one minute. Please keep it to the point and be respectful.
• No signs, posters, or noisemakers will be allowed inside.
• Bring water, food, and snacks for the line.
• Overflow seating and livestream will also be available.
• More than anything, we hope the Supervisors will call for the study of the impacts of this initiative.

• Less investment in existing cities
• No binding guarantees until a development agreement
