with closure. Obviously, if they are making good progress and <br /> they request an extension, I'm sure we will be open to that. <br /> There was some concern that the City may have an agenda to <br /> permanently close the park and I told them as best I could <br /> that was not the case and the admin. order was very specific. <br /> I said we would be glad to make copies available. Dick, can <br /> you send me a copy again so I can get that to the <br /> facilitators. I also suggested that we look at non -City <br /> facilitators just to avoid any potential feeling our staff had <br /> a conflict of interest or hidden agenda. <br /> This afternoon, Tom Brett and others will be meeting at 2:00 <br /> to discuss how the organization will be addressing park rules, <br /> etc during this one week period. Any of you that can attend <br /> would be welcome. <br /> Earlier in the day yesterday, there was some thought that <br /> mediation might be an appropriate strategy and that was <br /> discussed at the meeting. Scott indicated at the meeting that <br /> process or approach would be too time consuming (4 to 6 wks) <br /> and so it was concluded that approach was not viable. Then, I <br /> suggested the City could help to get a couple facilitators to <br /> assist since it was evident that the person trying to play <br /> that role was really struggling. So, that's in part how that <br /> came about. <br /> Dick, if you have any other recollection, please let the group <br /> know. Sorry for the rambling in this note. I've trying to <br /> put this together on the fly between phone calls. Oh, by the <br /> way, Don Bischoff was at the meeting the entire time. Thanks <br /> Les L <br /> Page 2 <br />
