Open Space Supporters Win

The results are in and Santa Clarita Property Owners vote 69 Percent to 31 Percent in Favor of New Open Space District

Here’s a snippet of the information I received from the city for imediate release.  I’m sure the rest will be out in the Signal tomorrow.

Property owners in the City voted overwhelmingly this year to support a new Open Space Preservation District.  A total of 9,386 ballots representing $409,974 in weighted assessment or 69 percent were in favor, while a total of 5,568 ballots representing $182,672 in weighted assessment or 31 percent were not in favor.
The Open Space Preservation District needed a simple majority of assessment to pass, which was received.  Ballots were mailed to property owners in the City in May and were due back on July 10, 2007.
A special City Council meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 17th, at 4:00 p.m. at City Hall, 23920 Valencia Blvd., first floor, at which time the Santa Clarita City Council will adopt a resolution of formation for the new District.

So there you go.
