The city could use some more community meeting space… “According to records furnished by the city, the redevelopment agency spent $123,971 to acquire the condo of Adelyn Jill A. Balico [Councilmember Ed Balico's daughter], on Devonwood in the Village Park section, in a short sale; a grant deed was recorded with the Contra Costa County Recorder in late September. A sale price of $120,000 reported in real estate industry records appears to be net of closing costs. Industry records also show Jill Balico bought the condo in January 2006 for $412,500, with a $362,500 first mortgage from a bank and a $50,000 loan from the redevelopment agency, although neither her name nor the address of her condo appear on First-Time Homebuyer and other loan lists that the city provided to the newspaper in October.“
