Public commenters press county to put California Forever annexation on ballot
Summary
A mayoral candidate and residents urged the board to let voters decide the California Forever land‑conversion/annexation proposal, warning of large projected fiscal and housing impacts and accusing local city officials of 'slow playing' the process.
A public commenter who identified herself as Kat Moy — introduced by the clerk as mayor Catherine Moy and also running for District 3 supervisor — urged the board to agendize placing the California Forever annexation on the November ballot so countywide voters can decide the project. "Will you let your constituents vote on this mega project in their own county?" she asked the board, saying she believes Suisun City is "slow playing" the process ahead of a council vote.
Another commenter, Michael Jefferson, opposed the California Forever Project and cited impact‑analysis figures that he said show large fiscal burdens at full buildout. He read estimates from an impact report, for example saying the project "would create an instant physical burden of 191,900,000 in annual deficits at full build out," and urged that conversion of agricultural land to urban uses be placed before county voters so residents can "make an informed choice." Neither commenter presented a formal petition; the speakers asked the board to consider next steps and to ensure transparent public participation.
