I have enclosed the email that I sent to all of you to refresh your <br />memory. The illegal entry and vandalism have frustrated staff and placing a tremendous <br />burden on resources. <br /> <br />Rather then going to the extreme of pulling the tier 2 equipment, I have requested Darbie <br />Johnson to place signs up along the perimeter fencing and staff will also distribute. flyers <br />indicating that if these issues persist, they will leave us no other alternative but to remove <br />all the tier 2 pieces of equipment and the remaining equipment will be a tier I skate park. <br />The tier I park will be open to the public with no entrance fee, no paid supervision and <br />with limited equipment. If necessary, we will refund people who have purchased a <br />season pass. <br /> <br />There is not a time line for the possible removal of the tier 2 pieces - I am optimistic that <br />with the notification, we will not have to. Our maintenance staff would remove and <br />transport the tier 2 pieces of equipment to the public works shop. <br /> <br />Bruce Chamberlain from Hoisington-Koegler and I have been discussing the possible <br />relocation of the skate park. I am anticipating his report shortly. . <br /> <br />NRRC ACTION <br />A. Approve this plan of action <br />B. Not to approve this plan of action <br />C. Discuss when the NRRC has additional infoffilation <br /> <br />REF: NRRC/memo May 10 agenda item 11 <br />
