If only the City of Livermore had complied with California Law then the matter of the location would have already been settled and construction would have already started.
Judge Markman ruled November 14 that the City of Livermore violated Elections Code §9241. “The court finds that the City effectively repealed only part of the original resolution. Under section 9241, the new resolution cannot be enacted for a period of a year following the repeal.” “The City must now comply with the writ of mandate. The original 2022 resolution has been repealed but the new 2024 resolution is premature under section 9241.”
Juge Markman explained in his ruling that his order was delayed because he thought the parties were in settlement negotiations, but found out that was false.
The City of Livermore is appealing, but why? Would the appellate reverse themselves even though the supreme court declined to intervene? Here has been this cases path so far:
- Judge Markman rules for the City
- Appellate Rules for Move Eden Housing
- Supreme record declines to review
- Judge Markman rules for Move Eden Housing
- Appellate ???\
