Edison Park

Asked that his bocce ball court best-practices report be shared with RRM and that Edison Park funds stay dedicated to the park.

Coordinator of the Friends of Edison Park group voiced full support for the RRM design contract.

Supported the Edison Park design contract and urged continued community involvement.

Thanked the mayor and council for engaging the community and supported the RRM selection.

Supports option two with conditions, but asked the council to preserve existing trees and replace them with large 20–30 foot trees, and to make sure the outdated irrigation system is part of the plan.

A 66-year-old who plays basketball at Edison Park twice a week urged adoption of either option but wants Phase B built first — for the parking and so he can play on fixed courts while he still can.

Asked for four bocce courts at Edison Park, noting two courts can't run 16-team tournaments and that the 2009 park master plan already included them.

Representing the Edison Park Community Group, asked for option two plus conditions: irrigation, path repairs, staggering construction with Ascon and Magnolia Tank Farm, oil well safety, noise walls, and ADA access.

Supports option two but wants pickleball courts kept with the tennis courts as in option one rather than placed behind the fire station among family sports areas; also wants better trash cans and large replacement trees.

Presented the Edison Park Community Group's letter with 14 conditions and asked the council to incorporate them directly into its approval of option two, also for the future CEQA record.

A 29-year resident who endorsed option two as the reasonable plan that addresses option one's noise concerns, urging the council to bake the community group's conditions into the vote.
