I think Kim Gilson would make an excellent City Council Person. She has served on the Grand Jury, Parks & Recs, numerous local organizations, is an "independent thinker", very analytical, and level headed. We need to encourage her to run.

mindingcitybiz

So basically what your saying is you used Lori to get your position on parks & rec and to help position Leon Garcia onto City Council.

Like I said the truth always comes out.

mindingcitybiz

I alway's believe the truth will come out sooner or later. I remember some of this information. Didn't know about lori and vic though. Geez! And he was so mean to her in January & Febuary 06 nothing like getting stabbed in the back by a friend...............Way to go Vic

Hey, I'm all for jumping on VicRiv... But MCB, wtf? You bash someone for trashing folks who aren't in your clique RIGHT AFTER saying "you must be a Democrat because you talk out of both sides of your mouth"??? If the Fox News-watching radical right wing isn't a clique, I just don't know w...

I have spoken to several people about the 10k and I get the same reaction. What is up with Curry & Cori? Why would they be against helping people. Everyone has said it is great thing the city did. So I guess all they naysayers on this forum must be the same small group who always says "NO&q...

mindingcitybiz

Well I guess you couldn't read the telephone number listed at the top of the page. You could call them. Just like I did with the Eagle.

The holidays are coming soon. Would anyone like to share favorite recipes???

I don't recall anyone saying a playfround for each soccer field. I have gone to games at kimberely park and there is typically 4 games going on at the same time. I think there should be bleachers for each field. 1 playground, 1 snack shack, plenty of parking and lighting. The BBQ area could be away ...

I heard they were closing up shop. So is the Echo out front?

mindingcitybiz

High Trees maybe a safety issue. We do get pretty windy here, a fallen branch on the sub-station could possibly blow the whole station. Palm trees sustain highwinds better and when properly maintained there is less chances of debris falling from the Palm Tree. Of course I am not a horteaculturist. B...

mindingcitybiz

I would really like to know what he said in the Echo. If my pastor ever acted like Mr. Curry, I definitily would have to find a new church.

I couldn't feel comfortable with a pastor who is preaching one thing to me and then out casting stones in public.

mindingcitybiz

Playgrounds at each field for Kimberly Park to me would be the lowest priority. If you are at the park for an extended period of time, think ahead and prepare other activities for you children. Is it really the responsibility of the taxpayers to entertain your child while you watch a game? In case ...

Welcome to the online forums.

The posting above about salmon was inside joke. No offense meant.

mindingcitybiz

I would like to know too. Maybe they will put palm trees of very heights, and I understand the landscaping will be going in soon. Yippee!

Hey Issa? Maybe you could get a link going for the planning commission like you have for the police department. So they could answer these questions for us.

mindingcitybiz

amen to that!

You know I can't believe this website isn't completely filled out. Of the 56 people registered only a few have been nominated: Rodrick Sweeney, Bea Bockman, Kathleen Shamat, Sindy Bederman, louis. Come on I am sure there are more people out there. Melissa Dugdale, seems to be the go to girl when par...

Top ten signs you live in American Canyon, everyone's complaining and ain't nothing getting done!

mindingcitybiz

ROFL! Linda you story reminding me of henny penny. I love it when my eyes are opened to something new and different too. Now if everyone can just get past their biases and work together to resolve issues. American Canyon would ROCK!

mindingcitybiz

We can complain all we want here, but unless we come up with ideas and take the information to City Council or Parks & Recs, its nothing but a bunch of ranting and raving with 56 pots calling the kettle black! Lets get these forums back on track to resolving the issues ensure everyone takes them...

mindingcitybiz

Joan, if you read the above comment you will know I was not aware of your situation. The purpose of the comment is to make people who want to run for city council again next year, or new people realize they need to attend city council, parks & recs, planning commission meetings and yes sometimes...

mindingcitybiz

I wasn't being sarcastic about Leon Garcia. I just had over the last couple of years something about him having a background in Engineering. Maybe he could elaborate, from a professional point of view what is needed for Kimberely Park to fully operational. Don't take things so personal all the time....

mindingcitybiz

La Vigne is paying through the nose to have that water. The City billed the homeowners or $55k last year alone and that was just for watering the landscaping.

I have a question for anyone living in La Vigne. Do you guys have any parks for the children over there? School?

mindingcitybiz

Well I agree with you Paul about the Unions. So how do we deal with them reasonable. I think unions have their place, but I think they also overstep their bounds. It is wrong for people who receive their pay from taxes to strike or be a part of a union. Especially when they are walking away with suc...

Hilarious!!!

Not sure what your talking about. Maybe you would like to elaborate.

It would be nice to have a non-denominational chapel and reception hall. So we could hold weddings locally.

mindingcitybiz

Can we use a NMD report like WalMart did? I am sure we can find one some where. Maybe buzz butler can help me find one for cheap. I also had a question in reguards to the engineering? Isn't that Leon Garcia's specialty? What exactly do you need? If people where to get qualified relatives or citizens...

mindingcitybiz

Don't be so negative... Keep the faith man. We just need to keep encouraging people to writer letters, file complaints when their cars our out of line, ensure that people in all positions are qualified for their jobs, and we have an opt-out clause for all the people who don't fullfill their obligati...

I will tell you why. Fixing the potholes is union work, weed abatement is union work. I had the opportunity to talk with someone from City Council in regards to some work that was done at Donaldson way. Years ago. They were trying to fix some of the sprinkler heads because it was ruining the grass. ...

Mathew, I don't want to wait three years for the developement of kimberely Park. We should have a town hall meeting at the field immediately with some potential architects and get everyones input and have them draw it up. . The perspective architechs have 2 months to get their drawings back to us. W...

1. Kimberley Field - the playing field needs to be revamped, a bigger parking lot. parking on the right side of Kimberely only, a snack shack with bathrooms, lights, audo system, a play ground and bleachers for each soccer play area. 2. Walking trails - connected through am can. 3. Playground built...

In church we have a saying there is a season for everything, friends, life, work. So maybe the season for our "City Manager" has passed and it is time to find a new one.

mindingcitybiz

You know you live in American Canyon when everyone complains, but only a few are willing to do what it takes to make a difference!

These people (Marketplace) probably called to participate late and got a bad spot, that is the luck of the draw. Not sure what your talking about when you say these people then in quotes say (MarketPlace). I was at the Friday Nites this past friday and had a great time with the kids. The music was ...

That is the problem with this country. Most people listen to gossip and take it as fact instead of doing the homework and investigate the facts.

Me thinks you protest to much. You say you look at both sides of an issue, but yet you still Cindy Bash. When is the last time you called Cindy and actually had a conversation with her.

Thanks for the reminder Issa.

The judge citied that in all three charges the City "Abused its Discrestion". Bottom line that is what I was looking for. The City Council is appointed to work for us "We The People" and follow the rules and regs we have on the books. Not do whatever. They were a rogue "City...

Funny, but sad. It is too bad we don't have ordinances for lawn maintainance in AM CAM. I pay a fortune in the summer to keep my lawn looking half way decent while my neighbors lawn is brown.

I agree with Itsy Bitsy. Kathleen Shamat is a good women who does not belong to any of the local service groups. I am sorry that you cannot overlook your affiliations with Wal-Mart to see all the good she has done. But I commend her for standing up to the City Council requesting the baseball fields ...
