I appreciate your bringing to my attention your feelings <br /> that Parks and Open Space Division staff have not been responsive to your needs. I agree with <br /> your concern that two months without word is too long for us to take in getting back to you <br /> regarding potential designs for the potential Rose Society $5,000 donation. I have spoke with the <br /> involved staff on the issue and I expect they either already have contacted you or will soon do so. <br /> I do want to add a little in their defense. There is a great deal of work expected of that small <br /> group of planning staff. Their first priority has been getting a number of park bond design <br /> projects finished. The second priority has been providing information and support to the Mayor's <br /> Committee who are working on developing a new Parks, Recreation, and Open Space <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Also there were a few other citizen requests which required some design <br /> work that had begun prior to our meeting with you in March. <br /> That all being said, you still at least should have been contacted regularly with status updates. For <br /> this not having happened, 1 apologize. I hope there is still the opportunity for us to work <br /> together on this potential donation. I will certainly respect any decision you make on the issue. <br /> Sincere , <br /> ohnny R Medlin, Director <br /> Parks and Open Space Division <br /> cc: Andrea Rifler <br /> John Weber <br />
