Cloverdale mayor reports outreach and coordination to oppose Potter Valley project
Summary
Cloverdale’s mayor said the city is coordinating with Ukiah and state legislators and has arranged public outreach about the Potter Valley project amid local opposition; Ukiah has filed lawsuits, the mayor said.
Cloverdale’s mayor told attendees the city is coordinating with neighboring Ukiah and state-level officials in opposition to the Potter Valley project and urged residents to attend a public meeting about the matter.
In remarks recorded in the meeting transcript, the mayor said he has meetings scheduled with Assemblyman Rogers and Senator Mike McGuire and that Ukiah has filed lawsuits related to the Potter Valley project. The mayor encouraged residents to "educate yourself" and mentioned a public meeting scheduled for March 13 at the senior center where a speaker will discuss the project’s implications for the community.
The mayor framed the effort as part of broader, multi-jurisdictional opposition and said city officials are attempting to contact higher-level officials, possibly including the governor’s office, to express concerns. The transcript records the mayor describing Cloverdale as a small town with limited leverage and noting coordination with other jurisdictions, but it does not record a formal council directive or vote to take legal action.
No project approvals or binding council actions were recorded in the provided transcript segments; the remarks were framed as status updates and calls for public engagement.
