A number of residents, relatively new to Tracy, spoke passionately at Monday’s city council meeting, with their angst aimed at the two owners of property adjacent to the new community center building.
George Tanguy and Dave Anderson, who are in dispute with the City and the contractor it hired to lead the community center project, were seated behind and just to the left of the speakers, who called them out for holding up progress on the future center.
“We moved here with purpose; we wanted to be a part of this community,” said MyKelle Tieman, who moved to Tracy about a year ago with her husband and young daughter. “I am here to address the topic of the community center — it’s one that has been in the newspaper, it was the topic at a recent council meeting, and it’s one that seems to have been a very long-running conversation. I don’t know what happened … but what I do care about is being pulled into this like a pawn.”
