Save Our Community was founded in the movement to resist Wal-Mart's development in Rosemead, California. Now, it has become a general site for news, information, gossip, talk, and blogging about Rosemead. We also have stories about South San Gabriel, San Gabriel, Montebello, and occasionally about Pico Rivera, El Monte, South El Monte, Alhambra, Temple City, and other nearby communities. Your host is Todd. If you want a blog just sign up, get approved, and start writing. Good posts will be moved onto the home page.
Chicken?
Actually, no. The meeting was held in the RCRC big room, in (accurate) anticipation of a large crowd. The video camera was up and (i assume) running, but since the RCRC is not yet wired for streaming - something for a future upgrade, perhaps - they could not go live. I would expect it to be posted to the video archives within the next week or so.
As for the meeting itself, CAL Poultry (CALP) was out in major force, comprising at least 3/4 of the 200 - 300+ people who came. I didn't count, but would guess about 25 or so people spoke, including myself. Most were pro-CALP. Maggie ran a relatively tight ship time-wise after letting CALP's lawyer say his piece, so they finished up with that portion around 9:30ish, if memory serves.
But here's the catch. Apparently the notice for the original Planning Commission meeting was sent in to the Trib, but the Trib screwed up and didn't actually publish it in the paper, so it had therefore not been properly noticed. Staff discovered this while in final preparations for Tuesday's meeting. So the Council was therefore prohibited from taking action, and had to refer it back to Planning, who will presumably re-consider it at a near-future meeting. This means at least three more meetings of fun (one Planning, two Council).
