Howard Neely, 448 Amador Court, announced the possibility of a new dog park at <br />Nielson Park. He hoped to have another dog park on the Bemal property. <br /> <br /> Kurt Kummer, 4456 Clovewood Lane, complained that Muirwood Park has been fenced <br />off and closed since December 31, 2001. He acknowledged this was done for turf renovation, <br />but asked that in the future a way could be found to do it without closing the entire park for a <br />whole year. <br /> <br /> Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, noted Ms. Dennis and Ms. Michelotti were not <br />running for reelection and expressed his appreciation for their services. He also appreciated <br />Mayor Pico not participating in the local Mayor's Report on Channel 30 while he is campaigning <br />for reelection. He was concerned that four of the five City Council candidates are currently <br />serving on City boards or commissions. He felt they should recuse themselves from their duties <br />on these boards and commissions until after the election. It may not be against the law, but he <br />still felt it was unethical. <br /> <br /> James Wolfe indicated the fence around Muirwood Park will be down this week. He <br />indicated there was a full renovation of the irrigation system in the park along with turf <br />reseeding. Staffwanted to insure that when the park is opened that the turf was properly seeded <br />and would survive community use. That area has been used for youth sports activities, but the <br />main area will be posted as not being available for organized sports practices. It will be available <br />for neighborhood and community use of a more casual nature. Organized sports will not be <br />allowed until next spring to insure that the turf is adequately rooted and can withstand the active <br />use. <br /> <br /> Ms. McKeehan indicated that staffhas found that when a park is opened too soon the tuff <br />does not survive. <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico noted that new commission appointments were made as part of the Consent <br />Calendar and he read the names of the newly appointed commissioners and committee members. <br />These individuals will be sworn in at the next meeting and a reception held before the meeting. <br /> <br />6.
