Residents and chairs urge completion of long‑promised capital projects; openings remain on Measure O oversight and commissions
Summary
Public commenters asked INCO to press the city for completion of legacy capital projects in the Northeast Mesa area and alerted residents to vacancies on Measure O citizen oversight and city commissions; Parks Commission also reported membership shortfalls and a Durley Park funding meeting was announced.
During public comment, multiple residents urged INCO to press city leadership about long‑delayed capital projects and to advertise openings on citizen oversight bodies.
Larry Stein said development fees collected for the Northeast Mesa specific plan since the 1990s had not produced an expected fire station or park despite fees and some construction elsewhere. "Action should be made to reference the city manager and the city council," Stein said, asking INCO to seek completion of projects such as College Park and Sports Park.
Ronald Arejo, who said he chairs the East Village neighborhood and the Measure O bond citizens oversight committee, reminded attendees that the mayor can appoint three additional members to the Measure O oversight committee and one appointment remains open on the planning commission. Arejo said residents should contact Mayor Louis McArthur or the city clerk’s office to apply.
Angela (last name Whitcomb) said the Parks Commission is down two members and urged nominations; she announced a public meeting at Durley Park on Saturday at 9 a.m. to prioritize remaining grant funds and gather community input.
INCO did not take formal action on these public comments during the meeting; comments were recorded for potential referral to the city manager and council or for scheduling on a future agenda.
