ABSTRACT: On Thursday, 22 October 2009, the Staff of the Monterey County Weekly recommended a 'No' vote on Measure I involving the sale of the Flanders Mansion Property in Mission Trail Nature Preserve. Highlights of the endorsement and a link to the complete endorsement are presented.
• “...no convincing argument has been mounted for why that time should be now,” regarding the sale of the Flanders Mansion Property.
• It is “short-sighted” for the City to not “preserve one of its historic sites.”
• Selling the Flanders Mansion Property “seems like a bad idea, especially at a time when other publicly-owned parks have been at risk.”
• “Flanders could be an asset to the community for decades to come, even if it’s not clear what the immediate best use of this public building is.”
• “The short-term gain on the sale doesn’t outweigh its permanent loss to a private owner.”
