City Attorney Buxton: You received a report at the last Council meeting in regards to the grave
condition of the Library's heating and air conditioning and that is not going to last. Because the
procurement would be over$50,000 you have to do a formal bid and you do not have time to do
that. In order to safe guard life, health and property in the Library and to keep it functioning we
recommend and we belief that you qualify for an emergency expenditure under Idaho Code
Section 67-2808 (1), so this Resolution meets that requirement and the estimated procurement is
$60,000.

talking to Ryan for a few years. With social networks the kids are really stoked about this. This

MAY 28TH, 2013
Mayor Reynolds and City Council members,
As the current chair of the City's Historic Preservation Commission, I and the other six commissioners
would like to thank the City of Eagle for its consistent support and willingness to consider increasing that
support when justified. We are respectfully requesting an increase from the last fiscal year's budget of
$3,000 to $5.4500. 3;606
Our current budget is virtually zero, after paying for the latest round of historic signs with matching
funds from our City -funded budget. We have written two successful grants for money through the State
Historic Preservation Office from the National Parks Service to help pay for, respectively, six and four
signs. That leaves about two dozen signs left to go for properties on the National Register of Historic
Places and Eagle's unique Municipal Register of Historic Places. We want to continue the momentum on
this project and apply for additional grant monies, for which we will need local matching funds as
before.
The HPC hashad no funding to help pay for any of the presentations in our Quarterly Speakers Program.
Many of the speakers do not charge but some of them do, e.g., last year, I personally paid a token
honorarium of $50 to David Leroy for his program on "Lincoln and Idaho" at the Eagle library. He is
presenting that program again tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. at Meridian City Hall, for which he is being paid
$100 by the Meridian HPC, of which I am a member. I am not the only commissioner who has
contributed private funds to pay for speakers and/or refreshments at these programs.
am attaching an e-mail from HPC Vice Chair Karianne Fallow.
"When people think about Eagle, there are a lot of things that come to mind. Perhaps one of the most
recognizable characteristics of Eagle, though, is the collection of historic properties we have in our
community. The Eagle Hotel, recently renovated by Bob Bruce, is one example of the important role our
history plays in shaping our future. Our historic properties can act as a catalyst for economic development, an
attractant for visitors and a way to maintain a connection to our past.
"The Eagle Historic Preservation Commission, under the leadership of Chairman Frank Thomason, has
achieved great success over the last four years. While we've seen changes in the members of our Commission
and in the administration of the Eagle Historic Museum, with whom we enjoy a nice, collaborative
relationship, we have achieved some unique things in a short amount of time.
• We initiated a Walking Tour guide that can serve as an educational guide to residents and visitors. It
is a collection of our most historic and significant properties and provides directional guidance.
• We established a local historic registry so that we can determine, outside of the national or state
restrictions, our own localized determination of a historic property. This allows us the ability to name
a local property to our registry that might be significant to Eagle's history, but that may have too
many architectural changes or otherwise to qualify it for another registry. It's important to note that
this is not at all meant to hinder development in Eagle. Rather, this acts as a celebration of our more
significant properties or landmarks.
• For two years, we applied for and won grants from the Idaho State Historic Society (ISHS) to place
permanent markers near historic properties throughout our core downtown. In the first year, we
applied the grant money to six signs and in the second year, we applied the grant to four additional
properties. This second phase was completed just a week ago. In both cases, we worked closely with
our sign fabricator, Landmark Impressions, ACHD, the City and property owners. We've had excellent
feedback from property owners and residents who visit the signs to read more about these
important places.
"Going forward, we have talked about some projects that we think could draw a lot of really positive
attention to Eagle while promoting our city's history.
"We are currently working on an application to nominate a local and well-recognized barn to the national
historic registry.
"We have talked about tapping into a larger consortium of museums and historic preservation organizations
to do geo-caching or provide other digital educational tours of our significant or important properties.
"We are currently working with a former Eagle business owner and community leader about bringing a
significant landmark back to the community. What we're working on has the ability to draw some very fun
and positive attention to Eagle from a media perspective.
"Finally, we will continue to host our Quarterly Speakers Series, which we've been doing for at least two
years. It's been really popular and we draw people from all over Ada County including Boise, Star, Middleton
and Eagle. Our most recent forum last week, featured two of Eagle's long-time residents. Shari Sharp and Ron
Marshall regaled us with tales of early Eagle. It was educational and, perhaps more importantly, humorous.
That event drew our largest crowd with 40 attendees. I should also add that the Eagle Public Library is a great
partner in this effort and Janice Campbell is a great host.
"With that, I would like to ask that you consider increasing our budget this year so that we can continue to do
amazing things in the community. On behalf of the Eagle Historic Preservation Commission, I request an
operating budget of $5,000 for this coming fiscal year."

Executive sessions -- When authorized. (1) An executive session at which
members of the public are excluded may be held. but only for the purposes and
onlx in the manner set forth in this section. The motion to go into executive session
shall identify the specific subsections of this section that authorize the executive
session. There shall be a roll call vote on the motion and the vote shall be recorded

of the governing body. An executive session may be held:
(a) To consider hiring a public officer, employee. staff member or individual agent.
wherein the respective qualities of individuals are to be evaluated in order to fill a
particular vacancy or need. This paragraph does not apply to filling a vacancy in an
elective office or deliberations about staffing needs in general;

(f) To communicate with legal counsel for the public agency to discuss the legal

To create high-value and exciting family
recreational facilities in urban settings that
serve as a gateway to a life-long passion
for sports.
Gateway Parks was founded with the
fundamental intent to provide high-value, highest
quality recreational opportunities in urban
markets; bringing the resort to the people. .
Gateway Parks will build mountain resort snow
and terrain parks in your neighborhood that
initially feature snow sport experiences and
activities, once only available in distant mountain
resort communities. The parks will grow to offer
other year round sport opportunities such as
mountain biking, wakeboarding, and skate parks
— right in your neighborhood.
Our family -focused parks will be constructed and
operated with the goal of providing a sporting
experience that fits within the existing sports
profile of the surrounding community. The parks
will offer tubing, rail and terrain parks,
snowboarding, skiing, lessons, and uphill
transportation. Each park will also consist of
national and regional partners that ensure park
guests have access to the best and most relevant
products ranging from clothing to snow
equipment at a price that can't be beat.

Bringing the mountain snow sports experience to
your community!
What is a Snow Park?
A outdoor winter facility that can include snow
tubing hills, terrain parks for skiing and
snowboarding, cross country skiing (various),
snow -shoeing, winter hiking, winter camping, ice
and snow sculpting, sledding, snow angels, fire
pits, snow biking, warming houses (group use,
parties, rentals), and more!

Urban Sports Experiences - Winter
An outdoor area, in a city setting, that allows skiers and
snowboarders to do tricks involving boxes, jumps, rails
(jibs) and snow -sculpted features. These areas can be
surprisingly small and often include snow making and
grooming.
Think "Skate Parks on Snow."
Exploding in popularity, terrain parks are now featured at
literally every ski area, big mountain to small hills across
the country. Denver Parks and Rec's Ruby Hill Rail Yard
was the world's first urban terrain park.

Company History
In 2007, Bob Holme & Winter Park Resort teamed up with the City of Denver and
Planet Snow Tools to create the world's first Urban Terrain Park at Ruby Hill Park. In
2011, Planet opened the first ever for-profit Urban Action Sports Park in Lansing
Michigan. Seeing the potential, Planet started a new company - Gateway Parks.
Gateway Parks intends to open up to 4 facilities over the next year and over 10 in
the next 3 years throughout North America.

Gateway Parks
Our Mission, Our Passion, Our Concept
Our Mission
To create high-value and exciting family recreational facilities in urban settings that
serve as a gateway to a life-long passion for sports.
Our Passion
Gateway Parks was founded with the
fundamental intent to provide high-value
highest quality recreational opportunities in
urban markets; bringing the resort to the
people. The company features a vertically
integrated solution to create turnkey facilities
that can operate on public or private land.
These facilities will initially feature snow
sport experiences and activities that were
once only available in distant resort
communities and will grow to offer other year
round sport opportunities.
The Gateway Parks team, with over 75 years of combined experience in every facet of
resort operations, marketing, event production, and finance, is a collection of industry
leaders that have banded together with a common mission - to create world-class
recreational facilities in urban settings that promote positive family environments and a
gateway to a life-long passion for sports.
Our Concept
Gateway Parks aims to create lower-cost entry points for recreational opportunities for
families in which to not only participate, but also to learn and develop an appreciation
for and experience in a variety of sporting activities that will serve as a "gateway" to a
more active lifestyle. Gateway Parks will provide facilities that are in close proximity to
3
urban centers reducing the requirement of travel and excessive time commitments. Our
family -focused parks will be constructed and operated with the goal of providing a
sporting experience that fits within the existing sports profile of the surrounding
community. The success of the Gateway Parks model will have a positive and effectual
impact on lower to middle income and multicultural families and their communities.
Providing access to these experiences in a financially viable way is the first step.
Gateway Parks' facilities will be structured with low overhead expenses as a result,
prices can remain low so the cost entry of the sport is ultimately passed onto the
community. Our smaller and more nimble facilities can act quickly when the
opportunity for opening operations arises. Ramp -up at our facilities can transpire in a
matter of days as opposed to months. When winter hits, we act quickly and precisely.
Gateway Parks invests in its team. Our employees will be compensated with the goal of
retention, not turnover. Long-term quality control over every aspect of the business is
created through employee loyalty at every level. Gateway Parks wants to attract and
retain the best in the business. Finally, our parks aim to simplify the experience down
to what is important — a hassle -free sport experience that is priced right. Gateway Parks
brings the mountain resort experience to the people.
Our Team
Gateway Parks consists of a team of sports entrepreneurs unparalleled in the industry.
Our team includes industry-leading professionals from every aspect of resort operations
and marketing. The executives of Gateway Parks represent the best in the business in
each facet of their area of expertise. The executives are supported by highly skilled and
talented staff with hands-on experience and passion for the Gateway Parks' mission.
When we say we are vertically integrated company, we mean it—from the dirt to the
business shirt!
Gateway Parks' President, Ryan Neptune, leads the team.
Ryan, a former US Snowboard Champion, leverages his 3o
years of ski industry knowledge and 20 years of
entrepreneurship. In 1990, he started Neptune Industries
an innovative new -construction and landscaping company
and has since turned his business into a full-service
manufacturing and fabrication platform, called Planet
Built, that creates infrastructure and park features for
resorts worldwide.

"Gateway Parks will offer high -
Our Products and Services value, low-cost sports experience in 4
your neighborhood!" 4
Creating a high-value product at a reasonable price 4
is achieved through thoughtful capital investment 4
and a bulletproof service strategy. Our initial product will provide a snow sports
experience, however, consideration will be made for summer products on a site-specific 4
basis. Below details the requirements for site selection and lists the basic amenities and
4
services contained at each Gateway Parks location.
Each snow park is ergonomically designed with a variety of zones and features for4
1
beginner, intermediate and advanced guests. The smaller scale operation increases the
ability to control and influence a guest's first-time experience and allows guests of
different abilities to share `trick tips' as well as adding more to the community feel of the 4
park. Creating facilities that combine accessible terrain designed for beginners and a 4
superb learn -to -ride staff is the best way to ensure guests have a positive first 4
experience. The guests' first experience is the gateway to future active participants. 4
4
The center of Gateway's plan is to lower the cost of the experience without sacrificing 4
quality equipment and a quality learning
environment that is needed to build life -
4
long athletes. Guests will have an
exhilarating on -snow experience through
4
tubing. Although tubing requires little
technical skill it is incredibly gratifying.
As one becomes more accustomed to the
thrill of tubing, guests will be drawn back 4
to the facility to try the `other' snow sports 4
experience. Nationally, 66% of all tubing 4
4
6 4
4
4i444444434`V433434444444444A434444444444444}
visits are those guests under 18. These younger guests have the choice to enjoy tubing
until they are ready for the next challenge.
Our parks will create a non -threatening conversion opportunity that does not exist at
most ski areas in North America. Traditional resorts often times separate tubing areas
and skiing due to the high -valued real estate at the base of the mountain. Resorts see
tubing as a business to drive incremental revenue from their existing guests, not
creating new ones. Gateway Parks view tubing as a legitimate way of introducing a new
guest into the sport in addition to it being a viable stand-alone business.
The foundation of our products will be grounded in the highest possible snow surface.
Snow surface quality begins with experienced snowmakers and ends with nightly
grooming operations. Larger resorts are challenged to keep their most difficult terrain
groomed to their advanced -level guests' expectations. As a result, it leaves less
experienced operators to do the more gentle terrain. The paradox in this approach is
that most experienced equipment operators should be focused on the most important
guest to consider — the beginner. In our opinion, the best quality surface should be
reserved for those guests whose skill level is at the lowest. Gateway Parks will have
world -renown operators creating the beginner experience.
The strength of the winter -season products will be the platform of a Gateway Park with a
subsequent summer launch experience. After a full winter of operations, summer
experiences will potentially include mountain biking, water ramping (ski and
snowboard), golf, and wakeboarding (tower -to -tower) depending on available real
estate. Initially, summer products will be a focus at the larger facilities.
Site Selection
Potential sites for a Gateway Park facility will be
assessed on the following criteria based on the
knowledge and expertise of our Gateway Parks
team: average winter temperatures; access to water
within 500 feet of the site; elevation that has at
least sixty feet of vertical drop; slope aspect
preferably north facing; population base of
250,000 or greater; sites within jurisdictions with
the highest ISO Rating (1) or within five miles of
emergency responders; and the strength of existing
parks and recreation programs.
7
Services and Amenities
Each Gateway Park will be situated on a minimum of two acres with a vertical elevation
change of at least 6o feet. Natural typography will be enhanced with earthwork to create
areas for surface lift, loading zones,
and staging areas. Additional
purpose-built landscape features will
be added to enhance hillside
geography depending on regulatory
and zoning parameters. The final
contour of each site can be altered
once snowmaking is complete. Each
facility's physical footprints will vary
depending on available land and the
scope of product offerings.
Following is a brief description of the
basic services and amenities guests can expect to have on-site at an average Gateway
Park: snowmaking (temporary or permanent system installed); full-sized and park
specific snowcats for site grooming; uphill transportation via a surface lift, typically a
`magic carpet' style system; tubing, the mainstay for any Gateway Park, with branded
tubes and a variety of `speed' tubes; snow park with rails and terrain features for all
abilities and for both snowboarding and skiing guests; on -hill lighting; parameter
fencing that allows for both security as well as branding and advertising space;
outbuildings and warming huts for
administrative and guest services;
restrooms and baby changing
stations; lockers; hydration station;
bilingual directional and risk
management signage; free Wi-Fi;
media center to animate the guest
service area with video displays;
webcam to allow guests to view the
current venue setup, operations
and weather conditions; risk
management protocols; and guest
relations, a management system,
data tracking and scanning. The electronic ticketing and scanning system (guest
management) will provide real-time analysis and trending for timely, on -property

managerial decisions. This integrated system will control everything from ticketing and
pass sales and access control, to retail and rentals, food and beverage, and activity
management. This is the same platform used by Vail Resorts, Intrawest, and
PowderCorp.
Marketing and Sales
For Gateway Parks to complete its vision to
provide a gateway to a life-long passion for
sports, there must be a connection beyond
the product alone. To do so, our facilities
must create an emotional attachment for
our guest so they feel an affinity for our
parks. This connection begins with our
company's culture and must resonate with
each guest through the brand. Marketing
strategies will focus on creating,
maintaining, and growing this message in
our markets. Tactics used will include direct
marketing, media, social media, word of
mouth, publicity, sales promotions, group
sales and pricing structures that connect
with the community.
Partnerships and Industry Support

grew up with will be increasingly rare.

Partnerships will play a key role in the success of Gateway Parks. As a vertically -
integrated company, we understand the need to have the best partnerships in place to
support and enhance our own efforts. Our ability to grade, prep, and install
snowmaking equipment would fall short if we did not have access to the best prices and
service contracts with vendors. Constructing an amazing rental and retail space is not
complete without software and hardware partners that are tailoring products to meet
our new urban market. From price -point to functionality, our partners will ensure we
are stocked with relevant products for our guests.
To date, our partnerships continue to grow as more industry leaders are becoming
aware of our direction and facilities. Our growing list of partners includes:

When net revenues reach a predetermined level, a portion of additional revenue will
flow into Gateway Parks' non-profit organization—Giveway. Giveway is a 501(c)3 that
channels resources and opportunities to underprivileged youth. Giveway's primary
directive will be to introduce and foster participation and passion in all sports, not just
snow sports.
Our Strengths and Our Future
Gateway Parks will provide significant
contributions to the communities we
enter. Our parks will help foster healthy
lifestyles through exercise and
recreation. The facilities will provide
employment and economic development
to the community and surrounding
areas. The revenue shared with the
municipalities will help support local
initiatives. Finally, when the financial
success of Gateway Parks reaches our
benchmark of success, we start giving
back to the community that supported us from the start. In every sense of the word, our
company aims to be the gateway to great communities.

Subject: Gateway Parks Terrain Park Proposal
Dear Sirs,
My wife and I live at 1355 N. Trail Creek Way, just across Old Horseshoe Bend Road from the site of the
proposed terrain park development. We are very concerned that the proposal seems to be on a fast track
through the City's approval process. We are concerned by the following issues and feel you should fully
resolve them before taking up any actions to license the proposed terrain park:
1. Dam Safety — The proposal would construct a 19 million gallon (58 acre-feet) reservoir at the site of
the partially completed Velodrome. Since the Velodrome was not constructed for the purpose of
impounding water and is likely structurally substandard for that purpose and since the site is perched
on a hillside above occupied residences, I believe what is being proposed constitutes a hazardous
impoundment under the terms of Idaho Code. Any such proposal should be subjected to appropriate
engineering analysis and approval by the Idaho Department of Water Resources before consideration
for licensing is undertaken.
2. Groundwater Management — Although the area appears arid, much of it is underlain by impermeable
strata that trap water near the surface. Many of the homes in the Echo Creek Subdivision already have
continuing problems with water intrusion into crawlspaces. The proposal would likely exacerbate
these problems. Before licensing this proposal to spread millions of additional gallons of water on the
hillside above the Echo Creek subdivision, the City should first commission a full analysis of
subsurface geology and determine where that additional water will flow once it enters the
groundwater table. The developer should be held accountable for any increase in water damage to
surrounding residential areas.
3. Noise Pollution- We were incensed by the developer's statement that the noise of the snowmaking
operation would be similar to that of Highway 55. This statement denies and minimalizes a very real
problem and is hardly comforting to those of us who have to live with the very intrusive highway noise.
In addition, there are substantial differences between the two sources of noise. We bought our
property knowing about the existence of Highway 55, while the terrain park is something that is being
foisted upon us. Even though we might feel damaged by the highway noise, we also recognize the
highway to be a public necessity; something that cannot be said of the terrain park. Also, the noise
created by the highway decreases substantially in the evenings when we are home and trying to sleep;
just when the terrain park would be cranking up to full operation. In addition, the terrain park is on
the opposite side of our property from the highway, so this proposal would result in surrounding our
property with noise sources. Rather than minimizing our concerns about the noise, please address the
issue with some concrete proposals to minimize any new sources of noise. Requirements can be made
to use the lowest noise version of snowmaking equipment and to upgrade that equipment as better
versions become available. The operator can be required to place all compressors and pumps in sound
baffled installations. Operating standards can be set to limit snow moving and grooming operations to
daylight hours. etc.

4. Light Pollution- Before buying our property in 1999, we visited Eagle City hall and received assurances
that the operation of the bike park would not involve late night activities and that lighting for the
facility would be turned off late at night. This new proposal would constitute a huge change that we
feel devalues and industrializes the area. We realize that lighting would be a necessity for operation of
the proposed terrain park, but we would like to see any license from the City contain terms and
conditions to require that any and all lighting be directed away from all existing residential areas.
5. Water Supply — Given the recurring concerns about water shortages throughout Southwest Idaho, is
this proposal a realistic use of scarce water resources? What water rights will be acquired by the
developer/city to support this new water use? Will existing water users be impacted in order to
provide the millions of gallons of water needed by this development?
6. Need for Bonding — If licensed, the proposal will denude a substantial area of unstable and erosion
prone hillside and negatively impact wildlife, native vegetation, and visual quality. Recognizing that the
economics of proposals like this are often presented as a far rosier picture than operational reality, the
City should protect itself and the taxpayers who will be left holding the bag for necessary cleanup and
revegetation should the proposal be licensed and then later fail. Any license granted should require
that the developer provide the City with a Reclamation Bond (for the term of the license) in an amount
sufficient to cover the cost of clean up, disposal of abandoned structures and equipment, and
reestablishment of native plant cover.
Thank you for your consideration of the above concerns.
Sincerely,
Thomas E. & Kathy J. Ellison

RE: Proposed Eagle Snow/Sports Park. Add as public comment and distribute to city °
Dear Council,
I have read notice of contract being formulated for this proposal and publicized details but haven't seen
these issues reported. I am unable to attend July2 meeting and perhaps these will be covered then, but
in the mainstay, I send this if any may be relevant.
Who retains rights to the 19 million gallons of water in the holding pond?
If operation fails, who is responsible to remove installed equipment or rehab terrain?
Will velodrome be sealed to inhibit water seepage?
In case of accident, who is liable with it being private vendor on public lands?
Will water usage be monitored? Is there an established contracted maximum usage amount? What snow
depth for covered acres will be maintained for operation?
Will there be a contracted maximum time limit for beginning operations?
Will council ask IDWR (or a company referred by IDWR) to do assessment of potential water use
evaluating rate of evaporation for pond surface area and snow covered terrain, potential water seepage
and usage for snow making and wake board operations? Have usage amounts (now stated as season for
2 baseball fields, although they're beginning with 19 million gallon usage) been formulated on data of
recent seasonal records, like last!8 years, and projections for weather patterns for future 2 decades? Has
council reviewed the formula/documents used for projecting the 2 bb field water usage?
Recent public articles indicate rollerblading surface is no longer usable but not as to why. Was it
weather related or materials/installation failure? Did council have contracted stipulations with installer
for upkeep or guarantee?
Referred to as sports park rather than open space. Does that mean entire acreage will be developed for
sports?
I do not support this project at this time for our area. I think its a good idea best suited to a more
compatible climate. Going by what I have experienced in seasonal changes during the 13 years I've
lived in Idaho, studying climate projections, having an idea of water permits granted that aren't yet
online and pumping from our water resources, having 2000+ wells in the near vicinity, re a cli hi
cause and effect of water shortages in our state and neighboring states, and without an in-depth 3' party U
analysis of water usage projections known, and requiring 19 million gallons of water from the onset, I
base my opposition.
Thank you for consideration,

Mike,
I will be out of town next week and unable to attend the Terrain Park Open meeting. I am upset that it will be
held during a holiday week when many will be out of town, but I am beginning to think this is part of the
plan.
Attached is my letter that I am sending to Mayor Reynolds. Mayor Reynolds. I think this is a sad statement for
the City of Eagle and I am extremely dissappointed in our local government.
While the City of Boise is purchasing lad to preserve in the foothills we are selling out to ridiculous and
resource consuming development.
Thanks in advance for listening.

Dear Mayor Reynolds,
I have lived Eagle now for the past seventeen years. I moved here for the lifestyle, open spaces, small
town feel and great people. I moved to Idaho almost 21 years ago having moved from the north east for
all the reasons stated above. My husband and I choose our house in Eagle because of the adjacent
foothills where we are easily able to walk and bike and enjoy the quiet open spaces. I have also had the
great pleasure of being able to work in Eagle for the last five and a half years.
I am extremely disappointed and disillusioned to think that we would allow a for profit, noisy, resource
consuming, unsustainable enterprise to ruin the foothills because we are led to believe it will bring the
city a few quick bucks. We are on the edge of the high dessert. We are not at an elevation or climate
that keeps snow on the ground. Believe me I know, I have lived in New Hampshire and Vermont our
climate is different. A west facing slope will not maintain a snow pack. It will take lots of water,
electricity and noise to even attempt such an unsuccessful feat.
I am disillusioned to think that our city government could forge ahead without consideration for the
citizens who have lived in Eagle and supported Eagle. One of your council members was grousing when
the white roof was installed at Seven Oaks Elementary school as it did not fit the esthetics of his
subdivision. How does this endeavor, even if it would work, fit the esthetics of my neighborhood? Why
would we locate it next to an existing neighborhood? There is much open space in Eagle away from
neighborhoods and on north facing slopes that could be considered, although again I am against wasting
water to make snow in the valley. I also find it ironic something that is supposedly good for Lansing
Michigan and the Bronx is considered something we need in Eagle. Are the citizens of Eagle OK with
that comparison?
Most disappointing is the charade of the Public Hearing process. I missed my daughter's basketball game
to come to the meeting heard lots of testimony against, some for, although many of those citizens
reside in Boise, to then have a Councilman ask how you all felt about it. It was as if no time was needed
to do more investigation, give thought to what had been heard, or do due justice in finding the facts.
You all expressed support, despite what you heard from the citizens. I wasted my evening and missed
my valuable family time. This does not speak well of our local government.
I hope that you will reconsider this Terrain Park. It is not right for the valley; certainly not in this location.
Tha in advae for your consideration,
Pa Burton
