Council Ends Mace 391 Speculation, Votes to Continue Putting Parcel into Ag Easement
The meeting was packed with folks, many of whom lined up to speak on the issue of the Mace 391/Leland Ranch Ag Easement. A large number of them came out in support of moving forward with the easement, though members of the business and tech community offered powerful counter arguments.
In the end, the handwriting was on the wall and despite people providing strong questions about the actual impact on the closing efficiency of the city and Yolo Land Trust, the council was simply unwilling to take that chance and voted 5-0 for option one – finalizing the NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) conservation easement.
