He spoke of the sites which the committee reviewed and ofthe Blossom Hill site which seemed most feasible for an interim skateboard park. After input from Blossom Hill neighborhood, tennis players and skateboarders, the subcommittee agreed to remove the Blossom Hill site from any consideration for a skate park facility and discontinue looking for any other interim site, as it would divert resources from establishing a permanent site. The committee concluded that they had completed their assignment and at this time would appreciate being given the opportunity to continue pursuing a permanent site. Staff plans to move ahead with the work needed for the land negotiations and the issues that need be considered for the implementation of a permanent facility. The following speakers from the audience addressed this issue: Marcia Wright, spoke against any skateboarding park being built in town due to health and safety concerns. Ray Davis, asked that plans for building a permanent skate park in Vasona be stopped. He says facts state that these parks are not being used enough to warrant their expense.
