To the Editor:
Dear Ms. Duenas;
I am writing to ask that the Ukiah City Council include a free and open discussion regarding the fate of the Palace Hotel on the Agenda of the Council’s June 5 meeting.
Some want to demolish the Palace and others want to rebuild and improve it. I am frankly astonished that the Council has taken no public position; after all, the Palace is at the City’s downtown core – an area that the City is trying mightily to improve – and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Do you really not care what happens to this historic structure? My position is no secret. I would like to see it restored.
Why not give the people who think that can be done a chance at it?
I don’t live in Ukiah, but Ukiah has been my County Seat since 1973. The City owns a conference table that I made. I bank in Ukiah, get health care in Ukiah, shop in Ukiah, eat in Ukiah and come there for entertainment. I want to havea say in this.
Thanks for your consideration;
-Tom McFadden, Boonville
