believed more monitoring of the park will be necessary. She also was concerned about an increase in the noise level. Stan Callon, 2868 Longspur Way, referred to discussions regarding the Vat Vista Park and the demands of the residents. The Commission did not object m any of the demands and he felt the homeowners assumed their demands would be approved. He related incidents in the area from the 1970's to now. He indicated that former Mayor Ken Mercer had told him there would never be lights in the Sports Park. He asked where is the continuity between Councils. He also referred to an ordinance that said the park was closed at dusk, now Council is saying the park is open as long as the lights are on. He expressed confusion about the proposed lights. He did not want lights on in the moming. He referred to comments that the park would be safer with lights and stated there is no problem now. He suggested using nine-foot poles instead of the suggested twelve-foot poles. He asked if he would be consulted on the location of any light pole near his yard, so he could take advantage of the trees in his yard to shield the light. He did not want lights on until 11:00 p.m. He felt 10:00 p.m. was late enough and again said he did not want the lights on in moming hours. Mr. Wolfe said staff would work with Mr. Callon regarding location of the poles and said the lights are set to go off at 9:30 p.m. on the south side. Joy Reynolds, 2642 Sanderling Way, indicated she lives at the unlighted end of the park. In response to a question about the softball lights, she said they go off from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. She said she feels safer walking her dog with no lights. She wanted to be certain all objections from the previous three meetings as well as the demonstration be incorporated in the minutes in case anyone wants to bring it up later in a lawsuit. She also said she was speaking on behalf of Larry Murphy. There were no further speakers.

Mr. Fulford said not currently, but they could be added. Ms. Ayala asked for clarification on the comments about trees that were promised in cermin areas.
