While we covered most of the <br /> information contained herein verbally during our telephone conversation of <br /> last week, we agreed that a follow -up letter would be beneficial. First, I <br /> again wish to apologize for the slower than usual staff response to your <br /> letter to Chris Andersen. With the merger of Parks Services and Public Works <br /> Maintenance it is taking us a little time to "get up to speed" on these issues <br /> new to many of us. <br /> Earlier this month staff was reevaluating the proposed plan for reducing the <br /> size of the off -leash area at Morse Ranch park. While we felt it likely the <br /> initial direction was going to be reversed due to the public input received, <br /> that decision had not yet been made and a return letter to you at that time <br /> would have been inconclusive. The decision to withdraw the proposal to <br /> reduce the size of the off -leash area has been made and a copy of the announ- <br /> cement letter sent to the Morse Ranch interested party list is included. <br /> You asked a number of questions regarding how the Morse Ranch Historical <br /> Corporation Board was involved in the preparation of the Morse Ranch draft <br /> plan. A recent letter from John Replinger to the Citizen Involvement Commit- <br /> tee asked these same questions in perhaps more detail. I am attaching a copy <br /> of the research performed with the City Attorneys office and the staff <br /> response to Mr. Replinger's letter. I believe this packet will answer your <br /> questions better than I could do in this letter. <br /> I hope the above and attachments have helped answer your concerns. Please <br /> feel free to contact me or John Etter and 687 -5220 if you would like any <br /> further information. J.R. Medlin <br /> Maintenance Support Manager <br /> cc: City Council <br /> Chris Andersen <br />
