We would like to update MJR members and visitors on the Bed and Breakfast in Calico Ghost Town that we have been attempting to get the County of San Bernardino to approve. As some of you might remember, late last year we posted here at MJR that we were proposing to the S.B. County to open a B&B just east of the main entrance of Calico in a 3 story dome house that the county ownes. This house has been owned by the county since 97' and all they use it for is storage for decorations and misc for the town.
We received a letter with their decision to decline our proposal based on the county doesn't exaclty know what they are going to do with the property and the dome house. In talking to Bill Harmon, Staff Analyst for S.B. County Regional Parks Dept.( basically the person that sets forth in motion any new business in the regional parks), he informed me that as interesting as the B&B seems to him and many others, the county hasn't reached a decision as to the future of that property. There is a thought of tearing down the building since it isn't completed and only used for storage. I expressed the ability to generate more revenue for the county through the B&B and that the building wouldn't continue to weather away as it has been doing for the past 12 years. He explained that the decision of the property is not up to him, but to the county supervisors instead.
We were told by someone that a petition would gather alot of attention from those in S.B. and that they might consider negotiating a deal that would benefit the county at no out of pocket expenses.
Our question is, how could a petition get started here at MJR and is it ok to do that? If that could be done, we would ask all of you to help us out and sign the petition.
Thank you for all you r support
