HAMMITT Bob <br />From: ETTER John F <br />To: ANDERSEN Chris F <br />Cc: HAMMITT Bob; MEDLIN Johnny R <br />Subject: Jim Torrey and Delta Ponds <br />Date: Wednesday, October 11, 1995 4:04PM <br />I just got off the phone with Jim, who quickly went over some park issues in his ward. In particular he <br />mentioned the conversation he had with you after the council meeting on Delta Ponds and your idea for <br />going after it in two stages, which is more palatable for us from a financial and management standpoint. <br />Jim asked that I share with you my comments to him about planning in the two step scenario. My <br />comments were that I thought we should plan for the whole area regardless of where R/W lines fell since <br />the natural systems do not respect R/W or property lines. (An almost canned answer that fit here, but he <br />liked it.) Implementing some of what might be planned would just have to wait until road designs that are <br />not yet done are completed. <br />Jim, admitting to'being the politician, wants to show the efforts and results at Delta Ponds, but he felt our <br />energy and funding should be going to new parks at both the north end of his ward and Ward 4. <br />- -John <br />Page 1 <br />
