SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS <br />4. ITEMS FROM THE PUBLIC <br />Mike Enge, President of Equestrian Trails Incorporated (ETI), Corral 37, thanked <br />the Board for the opportunity to speak. He spoke in opposition to the issuance of a <br />permit to the Thousand Oaks High School Cross Country Team for use of the <br />Waverly Park facility, and cited safety concerns. He said that use of Waverly trails <br />by the runners violates established trail etiquette approved by the City of Thousand <br />Oaks and the District. As a compromise, he suggested that the October 4 meet be <br />held at Waverly, but an alternate site be identified and developed prior to the 2002 <br />high school cross country season, and all future meets be held there. <br />Gibson said that the issue was not an agendized item, and therefore no action <br />would be taken at this time. <br />Michelle Enge, long-time Thousand Oaks resident, spoke in opposition to the use <br />of Waverly Park by the Thousand Oaks High School Cross Country Track Team, <br />and cited safety concerns. She said that the equestrians' first concern is safety for <br />everyone, Waverly Park is used extensively and maintained by the equestrian <br />community, and she personally has seen unsafe conditions resulting from horses <br />being frightened by runners. <br />
