I appreciate knowing how it's going with the permit holders, so we can think about how <br />we handle the permit requirements for next year. <br />Neil <br />From: CLARK John T <br />Sent: Tuesday, November 03, 2009 3:37 PM <br />To: BJORKLUND Neil H <br />Subject: FW: Golden Gardens Violations <br />Neil, <br />I am forwarding the email below to you also at Clara's recommendation. <br />Also, for your information, Clara and I talked wit , another permit holder. Pete asked for the new <br />combination, claiming that he had permission to continue training his dog from the farmer, Rob Irwin. I called Rob to <br />confirm, before calling Pete back, and Rob claimed that he did not give Pete or any other dog trainer permission to train <br />on the leased land. When I called Pete, he said he had verbal permission a couple years back for him and some of his <br />friends. I let him know that I talked with Rob and let him know that things have changes since the restoration work and <br />that he would need written permission and would still have to park outside the park and walk in, as the letter said. <br />I think a few of the dog trainers are having a hard time with the new rules around the use of Golden Gardens. <br />Thanks, <br />John <br />From: CLARK John T <br />Sent: Monday, November 02, 2009 3:38 PM <br />To: MATSLER Clara T <br />Cc: WOLD Eric N <br />Subject: Golden Gardens Violations <br />Clara, <br />Approximately two weeks ago I was at Golden Gardens Park with Zane looking at some additional areas to mow. I <br />encountered three vehicles parked in the field west of the main pond. I approached them and asked for their permits <br />and asked them it they knew they were in an area that did not allow parking. They acknowledged it was a no- parking <br />area, but said they figured they had been coming here for years and thought it would be okay. I explained to them that <br />the City was trying to accommodate all users of the park and that the permit changes were a reflection of that. I asked <br />them to please move their vehicles to the parking area and to only park therein the future. I also reminded them that <br />their permits would expire at the end of the month. <br />
