Following two community meetings in December, the proposed Term Sheet for the Base Reuse Project at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station will be considered by the City Council on Saturday, January 7 at 9 a.m.
The next step in the planning for development of this property is the City Council’s consideration of Concord First Partners’ proposed Term Sheet. The Term Sheet establishes the development guidelines and community benefits to be included in the documents that must be finalized before development begins or property is transferred.
The meeting will be held in person at the Concord Senior Center located at 2727 Parkside Circle, and can be viewed on Concord TV (Astound/Wave 1026, Comcast 28, AT&T U-verse 99) or streamed online through the City’s website.

- Thursday, Dec. 15:Community Meeting #2 — Watch the Video
The Term Sheet and accompanying staff report are available for public review.

Greedy, lawless family now fighting each other in court. I’d say this decision is cut and dried – dump all the Seenos from any city contract EVER!
Seeno companies cannot do business within the State of Nevada due to being corrupt. Lawless enough for you?
Hope, are you saying that Contra Costa is just so much more corrupt then Nevada and more specifically, Las Vegas? So extremely much more corrupt? Because if that’s what you’re saying, it means everyone running this place should be in prison. For the record, I have no issue with Seeno doing business. If our county is this corrupt it’s not really Seenos fault, it’s ours for not supplying and voting in honest people.

That is a lie. There are many other publically known facts that you can choose to support your disdain of the Seeno family, why make stuff up?

Not made up. They were brought up on racketeering charges and are band from doing any business in NV and lost the Peppermill Casino which they owned.
This all happened right after I move to NV so it IS fact
So my question remains, why are they allowed to do business here? Are they corrupt or is our local politicians corrupt?
This project is way to big for a city council to make. They don’t have the smarts. This is a humongous project.
But it is a good indicator of which politicians are corrupt (other than the automatic, tried, and true response of “all of them!”). If they pick Seeno, you KNOW they take bribes. You KNOW they are bad people who cannot represent us if they pick Seeno.
It’s practically an underground city out there. What are they going to do, fill it in?
Perfect to sell to Dooms Day preppers, an with biden harris running things . . . . . .
With McGallian out the door, let’s see how Seeno greases these wheels to get approval. Edi and Dominic are compromised, as both want future financial backing as they crony up future election bids for county or state offices. Don’t let the “home grown” image of these folks fool you into thinking this project will not come close to the images provided during the last two meetings.
BFF Out!
It will be a suburban utopia. Sunny skies and shiny happy people. No traffic jams & you’ll hardly even notice the thousands of houses jammed in there:

What was the guy smoking that made that video?
Why not move all the homeless out there? They can live in the bunkers … then we do not need to build shelters for our ‘unhoused population’.
Councilmember Dominic Aliano now must recuse himself from voting on any CNWS issues. He is now a paid representative for Senator Glazer whose interests are often in direct opposition to local control of this project. For example, Glazer supports State control over building density and placement while Concord voters want local control. Aliano is now paid to represent Glazer so he can no longer impartially make decisions on the term sheet or specific plan.
In fact, Aliano should be removed as a member of the LRA (the council body legally allowed to vote on the CNWS) as long as he is paid by Glazer to represent Glazer’s interests. State rules do not require the LRA to be made up of councilmembers or even elected officials. Aliano should be removed from the LRA and council should replace him with someone without a conflict of interest.
Concord should not have to guess which interest Aliano is serving. He is already demonstrating that he does not care enough about this project to keep himself free of any real or perceived bias, even after all the controversy that has come before. Could it be anymore obvious that we are about to repeat a biased vote?
This is why we have conflict of interest laws. Just a reminder that Tim Grayson also thought he could play games when he sat on Concord’s City Council and still vote on the CNWS. Grayson took campaign contributions from “friends of Lennar” in an effort to skirt around the agreement that councilmembers would not accept money from the developers. But Grayson was incorrect and his conflict of interest ended up with his having to recuse himself from voting on the CNWS. Aliano is headed toward the same outcome.
Beware of Seeno. Concord could end up in multiple lawsuits and paying for the internal Seeno squabbles.
Concord has a really golden opportunity to create something wonderful. But not if they stick with Seeno. They have too much baggage attached to them, they cannot be trusted and if they go forward with Seeno there will be a forever stink to this project. They need to pull the ripcord on this and go with someone else and get started.
There will never be anything done to reuse the CNWS as long as their is a PLA agreement for the non commercial development.
No residential Developer can make any profit with a PLA in place like at CNWS. Give a big thank you to Congressman Mark DeSaulnier who orchestrated this and the 3% at 30 Public safety Pensions that are bankrupting the State.
Make it into a destination where there is soccer and baseball fields. No homes. Track and field etc year round sports destination
Fix up the bunkers.
Move all the CCC homeless there.
Make it a giant homeless encampment.
Put a county services office there to assist the ones who want it.
Build a redwood forest or everyone will spend their lives on the freeway.
“That’s what democracy gets you. Bandits fighting over a cut of the loot,”
I just hope it keeps getting put off for another 100 years or so. We don’t need Concord to grow any more. Traffic is bad enough as it is.
This project is way too big for a city council. If it isn’t planned right it could lead to a catastrophe. A city counsel just doesn’t have the tools to do this job. Best they make no decision except not to do anything right now. I hope there are no payoffs involved.
This project is way over the head of the city council. One has experience organizing the wine walk, another worked on a bike lane and is in the medical field, another worked with 3 non-profits and has 2 years experience on the planning commission, another works in shipping and another has the appropriate degree but no real experience. This is a major project and the people overseeing it do not have the experience. Would you let your friend or relative be the general contractor to build you a house when they have a degree in communications, worked for a tech company and have never built a house?
Saturday’s Jan 7 meeting has been moved to the Council Chambers per today’s City press release.

It would be a great place for a proper track (NOT a street course!) that could accommodate Formula 1, IndyCar and IMSA. There’s enough elevation change to make for an interesting course. The high rollers (especially) and regular fans would bring a LOT of money into the Concord city coffers. Since the San Francisco 49ers play in Santa Clara, they could call the Formula 1 race the San Francisco Grand Prix.
Anything is a better plan than building more houses there. Something that makes the city money would be great.
I’m sorry I can’t make Saturday, but I feel like no matter how many show up the city has already given it to seeno why else would he build his private museum so he can lord over his kingdom. It will be a slum soon. We all know seeno has bought paid for all of our city officials here Pittsburg & Antioch. He’s also going to ruin Idaho he has property there to start building soo
With great proximity to highway 4, it’s a perfect location for a prison.
