January 10, 2019 <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />Cindy Roughan thinks the bark should not be put back in the park and a non-flammable <br />option should be used. <br /> <br />Julie Naines does not want bark put back in the park. <br /> <br />Terry Garcia is against the bark being replaced in the park and would like to see a different <br />option used, such as stone; she would like to see a solution for the burnt odor in the park. <br /> <br />Alison Manger believes the fire department requirements should be revisited. She’d like to <br />see an increase in park amenities and is unhappy with the mulch. <br /> <br />Jillian Weaver disagrees with putting mulch back in the park and would like to see the grass <br />put back. <br /> <br />Jill Humphries believes the community needs to be educated re: global warming and climate <br />change and thinks there are a lot of good reasons why bark chips should be used in the park. <br /> <br />Monte Traficante thinks the mulch made the park very hard to use and the rehab of the park <br />should be designed around its actual use. <br /> <br />John Roughan is looking for an explanation as to the pattern of the fire damage. <br /> <br />Sue Trump does not want wood chips and wants another viable solution found. <br /> <br />Tom Boone believes the issue is about what is smart to do, despite what is legally required. <br />He questioned who should bear the responsibility of a defensible strategy should another fire <br />occur. <br /> <br />Hare responded to a number of the residents’ concerns and also answered Board member’s <br />questions. Hare said fire safety has been taken into consideration moving forward and that <br />staff recommendations meet current code requirements and were arrived at after <br />consultation with the experts who presented this evening. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued. <br /> <br />It was moved by Lange, seconded by Holt, and carried 5-0 to: <br /> <br />1. Receive and file report on fire response and recovery efforts. <br /> <br />2. Provide input on conceptual landscape design at NRNP and authorize staff to <br />proceed with park completion. <br /> <br />B. Confirmation of Board Appointments and Assignments <br /> <br />Friedl reported this item is being revisited after being presented to the Board at their meeting <br />on December 6, 2018. The report includes descriptions of each committee and contains <br />suggested Board member assignments for the current year. Staff recommends eliminating <br />the Capital Projects ad hoc and Off Leash Area ad hoc committees.
