Acton takes Action Anti-BESS Warriors Attend LACo BOS November 26, 2024 Meeting to Comment on Franchise Agreement Ordinance BOS Vote

Acton Takes Action | December 12, 2024 – by Ruthie Brock, ATA Chair – ATA "Don't BESS With Acton" Supporters bussed to the BOS hearing regarding the Hecate Humidor LLC Franchise Agreement Ordinance hearing. As expected the Supervisors passed it with a 5-0 vote. 26 Acton residents attended the hearing and they provided comments in opposition. All of those comments go into the official record on this project, and will further support our lawsuit. The residents did an AMAZING job presenting facts while also speaking from their hearts. Jacki Ayer, SORT Director and I were so proud of the job everyone did!

CLICK HERE for a PDF of the full text for the passed Hecate Humidor 1 LLc Franchise Agreement Ordinance. I think our community and surrounding community supporters will be especially interested in the indemnification clause and the insurance requirements that are stipulated for the Humidor project.

The next pre-trial Superior Court hearing is scheduled for January 16, 2025. Now that the last part of the project approval has been executed (the Franchise Agreement Ordinance), the judge should allow the lawsuit to finally move forward if the Administrative Record is ready to be certified.

Stay tuned for new information as it breaks.
