After years of unnecessary delays by current Trustee Bea Gonzalez, COD finally celebrated the Groundbreaking Ceremony of Roadrunner Motors in the Cathedral City Auto Center.
After six months of a cancellation, Roadrunner Motors was approved to be built at this original location in Cathedral City, even though it appears bond money was going to be diverted for Downtown Coachella. From the Uken Report entitled “COD Trustee Lobs Bombshells at President Garcia” issued on February 16, 2023, it states:
“Another issue that has come to my attention concerns the canceling of Roadrunner Motors in Cathedral City back on Oct. 27, 2021, via a press release from Dr. Garcia,” Kinnamon said. “New information reveals on the same day, COD entered a purchase and sale agreement for land in downtown Coachella at the corner of Sixth and Tripoli, known as the Rosa Lucas Family Trust land. It was being listed by Noel Ramos of Wilson Meade Realty. I don’t believe this information was revealed to the public.”
That wasn’t the only issue.
“What is more interesting is that on April 22, 2022, when the Board of Trustees voted to place Roadrunner Motors back at its original location in Cathedral City, the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the land in downtown Coachella was terminated by COD on that very same day,” Kinnamon said. “My question is, was Roadrunner Motors planning to be moved to downtown Coachella? If not, what was being planned for that property?
It’s time to end Bea Gonzalez’s Deceit & Delays! Vote and bring back Mary Jane Sanchez to the COD Board – Area 2!
