City invited Maggie to a discussion about the recent shooting near Westminster College to organize community (refer to Officer Smart’s report). Parley’s alignment with historic trail – management plan for off-leash plan is going to be hammered out over time, but it seems action will move on alignment. Slow down from developers asking for SHCC time. Maggie asked if trustees have any ideas or interest for certain presentation to email her.

There is concern the park has been neglected over the years so the plan identifies 4 main concerns; 1) maintenance and upkeep, 2) safety, 3) historic nature preservation, and 4) future development that should accommodate growth such as Parley’s trail connection through park. Based on the identified concerns the plan outlines these goals: 1) improve functionality, install new irrigation system, improve tennis courts, redo pond due to crumbling curbing, address erosion issues, 2) improve safety and security concentrate on SE corner perhaps install small dog park and pavilion and use stage for a more active manner, 3) maintain historic nature of park, honor historic nature in future, save mature trees, and 4) develop safe accessible pedestrian friendly access. Pathway going under I-80 1 ½ foot drop has created a concern about accessibility. Maggie will drive by to look at the current site. Next meeting is March 17th at Sprague Library 5:00 pm.
