THE GUARDIAN has taken items 8 and 9 from the Caldwell City Council agenda for 8-17-2009:
8.
Continued Public Hearing to discuss the proposed transfer of City-owned real property to Canyon County known as the land underlying the Canyon County Fair Building. The underutilized property is part of a larger area known as the Caldwell Events Center or Canyon County Fairgrounds.[Requested by the applicant to continue this item to the next Regular City Council Meeting to be held on September 8, 2009.]
9.
Consider Bill No. 14 (Ordinance No. 2797) for transfer of City-owned underutilized real property known as the Canyon County Fair Building to Canyon County with a request to waive the rules, pass on the first reading, and approve the summary for publication. [Requested by the applicant to continue this item to the next Regular City Council Meeting to be held on September 8, 2009.]
It would appear the Mayor and City Council have been caught flat footed with the move of the county fair from its present location to rural north Nampa. The Fair Board Paid about $20,000/acre for the 80 plus acres they bought for the new digs for the Canyon County Fair. No official comments have been made by Caldwell City officials on the latest economic engine to announce they are leaving our fair city.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.
We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.
It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.
The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
