More time has been put on the clock for a new arena after that the NBA and the City of Sacramento agreed to push back the vote on a term sheet until March 6th.

The league and the city are still in the midst of negotiations to determine how much the Kings will contribute to the construction of a sports and entertainment complex. With those discussions expected to run well into the weekend, both sides decided to allow more time for review.

Mayor Kevin Johnson expects the city to still be ready with a financial outline by the NBA relocation deadline.

"Sacramento stands ready to meet the March 1 deadline," wrote Mayor Kevin Johnson in a statement.

NBA Commissioner David Stern added, "(The) discussions have been constructive. Our hope is that current momentum continues in a way that we’re able to reach a deal by March 1 that makes sense for all parties."

Johnson and Stern will meet face to face during All-Star Weekend in Orlando.

If all goes as planned, the financial term sheet which outlines what the city, arena operator and the NBA will pay as well as the plan to how the general fund will be made whole after the loss of $9-million in yearly parking revenue, will be released on March 1st. This gives the public and council members several days to comb through the details before a vote takes place.

A new $387-million sports and entertainment complex will be partially paid for by the leasing of public parking garages and spaces. The exact figure the city will receive will not be known until the council moves forward on March 6th. It is then that bids can come in form the eleven companies chosen by the city council.

Negotiating for the city is Mayor Johnson, Councilman Rob Fong, Councilman Steve Cohn, City Manager John Shirey, City Attorney Eileen Teichert, City Treasurer Russ Fehr, Assistant City Manager John Dangberg, Sports Finance Consultant Dan Barrett, and Transaction Attorney Paul Jacobs.

Dateline from the Mayor Johnson's office:

2/22 – 2/25: City officials and City representatives continue to review terms with NBA officials and representatives.

2/26: Mayor Kevin Johnson and select City Representatives to meet with Commissioner David Stern and NBA officials, and representatives of the Maloof family in Orlando during the NBA All-Star Weekend.

Beginning in late February, a grazing contractor will bring a herd of sheep and goats through Rocklin open space areas adjacent to or near your property for the purpose of vegetation management and to reduce fire hazards.

Because goats and sheep like to eat almost everything, please do not place any yard clippings, toxic materials, or potted plants in the open space area.  Please minimize disturbance to both the grazing herd and companion dogs by not allowing pets into the open space area while the goats and sheep are grazing.  Please ensure your fence is secure so grazing animals do not have access to your yard. Goats and sheep may be able to squeeze their heads through a wrought iron fence, so please protect your plants. The grazing contractor is not liable for property damaged as a result of faulty fences.

The Rocklin grazing program provides sustainable land management and brush & weed control without destroying the ecological balance of an area. Grazing eliminates noxious weeds, can restore native grasses, and addresses fire prevention through fuel load reduction.

Thank you for your cooperation in making the Rocklin Managed Grazing program successful. If you have any questions, please contact the Public Services Department at 916-625-5500 or visit the City of Rocklin website at www.rocklin.ca.us/grazing

Negotiations between the city and the NBA are still on going. The Mayor says he will have further discussions with league Commissioner David Stern during All Star Weekend in Orlando about how much the Kings will pay for construction costs. Johnson did add that the city is seeking roughly $50 million from the potential arena operator, AEG.

Should it pass, the February 28th vote will begin the bidding process for private companies to assume control of city parking garages and spaces. That money will be used to help fund the construction of a new arena.

Secretary of State says there's a chance this November that your mail-in ballot may not be counted. The problem is that the United States Postal Service is in deep financial trouble. They're planning on shutting down 200 mail processing facilities, including post offices.

This has Secretary of State Debra Bowen worried that mail in ballots on election day in November may not be counted until Wednesday or Thursday of that week. More than 50 percent of Californians voted by mail in past elections and in Sacramento that number is over 60 percent.

Secretary Bowen says she has contacted the post master general and Congress about the issue.

Representative John Garamendi said he plans to support legislation to delay the closure of the processing plants and post offices until after the election period.
