However, it is now out <br /> of our hands and solely a neighborhood effort that does not include Police Services as part of the <br /> decision Thanx for keeping me posted Tom. <br /> From: MORGAN Dick A <br /> To: ANDERSEN Chris F <br /> Cc: SHUTT Gene; HAMMITT Bob; BRETT Tom A <br /> Subject: Scobert Park - -Park closure <br /> Date: Thursday, July 25, 1996 10:17AM <br /> I attended a Whitaker Community Council meeting last night <br /> where the board voted to ask the City to temporarily close <br /> Scobert Park for a 2 month period, because of the illegal <br /> activities ocurring in the park. The neighbors have already <br /> began to circulate a petition requesting such a closure! We <br /> should receive the written request sometime in the next few <br /> days. I told the group last night that a public meeting <br /> should be held to get public comment on the closure and that <br /> City staff should /would need to be in attendance. The group <br /> is aware of the Administrative Order process that is necessary <br /> to take such action. The closure would be only partial in <br /> that they want to keep the community garden area open to the <br /> gardeners(3 /4) with crops about to produce. They want it <br /> closed quickly!!
