On Thursday, November 12, 2009, the OC Fair Board will hold their monthly meeting and discuss the 2010 budget. This is a good opportunity to ask questions about the sale of the Fairgrounds, ask why the Foundation which is comprised of 6 of the 8 Fair Board members is not acting like a public body as required under the Bagley-Keene act, plans for the OC Marketplace and Pacific Amphitheater, and why the sale cannot be stopped. The OC Fair Board supported the sale of the Fairgrounds. Elected officials representing and the boards and of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Cow Palace, and Del Mar Fairgrounds were successful in pulling back the proposed sales of their properties. Only the OC Fairgrounds was put up for sale.
