INTRODUCTIONS <br />Those present introduced themselves. <br />III. PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Gene Holloter apologized for missing the memorial for Wayne Hill. He expressed his respect for Mr. <br />Hill. <br />Mr. Holloter noted that the Walnut Street entrance in Springfield to the Whilamut Natural Area had a <br />bollard missing so motorized traffic could enter. He noted that he had also seen vandalism in the area. <br />He stressed the importance of keeping motorized traffic out of the park. He suggested that the new chair <br />of the committee contact Willamalane maintenance staff to see about having a new bollard installed. <br />Ms. Blick suggested that the committee draft a letter to the Superintendent expressing concern over the <br />missing bollard. <br />Ms. Blick, seconded by Mr. Rivernider, moved that a letter be written to the <br />Superintendent of Willamalane expressing a desire to see the missing bollard replaced <br />and locked immediately. The motion passed unanimously. <br />Mr. Love offered a friendly amendment that was accepted to note that the Whilamut Natural Area Citizen <br />Planning Committee had voted unanimously on the request. <br />Ms. Jones volunteered to draft the letter. <br />
