Holding Pattern...

In case you haven't noticed, we're pretty much in a holding pattern until we find out if MXGP is pursuing another site or not.

There is the slim possibility that MXGP could work with Rinker to re-zone the pit next spring. Although, after several MCC representatives met with Graham Hardwick to let him know what the neighborhood thought of the idea, I don't think it's likely (He was informed that we would fight and drag this out for five years and let the world know what kind of neighbor Rinker is). Should that happen though, the Fire Dept. has indicated that they'll condemn the site to use it as a training facility. Excellent idea we think, in that there'd be no noise or traffic.

Should a re-zone happen and the Fire dept. back out, the next option would be to bring all pressure to bear on Rinker to sell to the Parks Dept. for a new park.

Last but not least would be our appeal and legal recourse with the aid of Bricklin, Newman & Dold.

We would be remiss if we didn't thank all of you who graciously donated to the MCC legal fund. A portion of the funds in Trust we're used in Jennifer Dold's research and Rebuttal Letter to the County. We are leaving the remaining portion in the Trust until we know MXGP has moved on, or the Fire Dept. or Parks Dept. has purchased the site, at which time we'd have BND return the remaining funds pro-rated. There's enough funds there for BND to go right back to work if need be.

We're keeping our ears open for now...MXGP seems suspiciously quiet. If you hear anything, please leave a comment.

We'll keep you posted. MCC
