The City Council is meeting on August 13th to consider a resolution to affirm that "it has no intent to change the General Plan and/or Zoning Ordinance designations applicable to the RCI property." 

This resolution was requested by Mayor Shea and Council member Carroll based on the turnout by more than two hundred of you at their Town Hall meeting on July 11th.  Based on their prior public statements, we are hoping that Council Members Kuo, Khan and Fox will also be voting in favor of the resolution.

You may have heard that the Spearmans and KB Home, since withdrawing their application to build 123 homes, have been talking to City Council members and others about building just 49 homes.  We do not believe that this attempt to coopt the resolution has affected the resolve of any of the City Council members.

So you may be wondering, Should I attend the City Council meeting and make a statement?

We would like to suggest as follows:

• Mass attendance may not be critical, as we do not want to overwhelm the City Council on an issue on which its members have already made up their minds.
• If you do attend, wear a yellow neon shirt to show solidarity.
• [At the meeting, we will hand out yellow colored flyers saying "Save RCI!"  Please take one and hold it up when the Council considers this Resolution.]
• If you do make a statement, please keep it respectful and short.  Perhaps just say you support the resolution (or that you support what a prior speaker said).

WHEN:​Tuesday, August 13. Meeting starts at 4:00 p.m. but RCI ​resolution ​probably will be discussed between 5:00-6:00 p.m.

WHERE: ​Irvine Civic Center (Alton at Harvard)
