Hi City Council,
The parking lot for the pool/picnics at Blackberry Farm had many large trees that were planted
around 2026.
Nearly all of these trees have died and I have brought it up to Parks & Rec in the past who
promised they’d be replaced.
I gave up and I doubt that I have asked our current head of Parks & Rec.
When can they be replaced?
Can this be added to the work plan?
Rhoda

11/18 city council #19 work program
appendix C #14 it looks like this item recommends considering that the Blackberry Farm
Pool/Picnics be tracked as an enterprise fund. I think that this is a good idea as outlined in my
earlier comments. I think that we should also consider tracking the Senior Center as an
enterprise fund as well. That way the golf course, sports center, pool/picnics, and senior center
would all be tracked in enterprise funds to promote transparency.
appendix C #16 please look at the bike racks themselves and determine whether they are safe
for kids. I’ve only seen one of these in person at McCellan Ranch and it looks like a child
could get stuck in it, putting the child and our city both at risk. I asked the building department
whether they were consulted on these at all, and the answer was no. We should engage the
expertise of our own building department on city projects.
appendix C #17 regarding looking at the golf course, this has been done so many times. Why
again? Keep in mind that each time the golf course gets looked at, the golf course enterprise
fund gets charged the cost of doing the studies. Consequently, these studies make the bottom
line of the golf course look worse than it actually is. I’d like to understand why this keeps on
coming up. We just went through a long and costly cycle of looking at the golf course.
appendix C #20 Let’s please let the dust settle a bit on the housing element before spending
more time and money on it.
Thanks,
Rhoda
