"We want to have dialogue. We want to be able to interact," said Bret Prebula, city manager of Suisun City.
About two weeks ago, California Forever submitted its official application to Suisun City for the annexation proposal. Suisun City leaders say they are currently analyzing the details of the proposal.
Monday night, about 100 community members packed an event hall in downtown Suisun City for the meeting that included presentations from city leaders and JLL, a development group linked to the project, explaining California Forever's plan to also bring a manufacturing park to the proposed development to be called the Solano Foundry.
In the question and answer portion of Monday's meeting, some community members asked questions about the project and many voiced their concerns about it.
For a moment, Monday's meeting was disrupted when a handful of community members interrupted the JLL's presentation, expressing they had had enough of the 'sales pitch' and saying they came to the meeting to be heard.
"Sir, we are not going to do interruptions. We will shut it down. We will shut it down," a city spokesperson said, warning the audience they would end the meeting early.
"There's nothing the city will get out of it. It will destroy the character of this community. And for what? So people can put money in their pockets? It won't help the working class. It'll help the same people who are being helped in this country already, the billionaires," Russo told CBS Sacramento.
Prebula countered that the city residents elected the city council to make these very decisions and they are working to put guardrails in place to protect the city's interests.
Prebula responded that Suisun City cannot answer that question because leaders owe California Forever due process. He explained that talks with the group are in their early stages and are not a done deal.
Right now, Suisun City community members are in the process of organizing a recall petition for each member of the Suisun City City Council.
These decisions could be a couple of years into the future, but the exact timeline is not yet clear. Prebula said more community meetings will pick back up in January 2026.
