Need for Medical Facility and Major Bank
A resident asked why Mountain House — California's 483rd and newest city — still has no medical facility and no major bank branch, forcing trips to Tracy, Manteca or Modesto.
Transportation Fee Deferral for Economic Development
Commercial developers would pay the transportation impact fee when a building opens rather than at permit, easing upfront financing costs. The city manager said Wickland Crossing's $9 million project faces an extra $600,000 upfront without this help.
Economic development strategy approach
Instead of a standalone $100,000+ economic development plan, the council folded that work into the new General Plan using Kosmont Companies for about $35,000. The plan is due to the state by year's end.
