City Council Meeting Minutes August 4, 2020 <br />Council Member Gonzales would like the City to work with the County on their park <br />proposal and they do not want any future studies. <br />Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Rockeymoore and Council Member Baker believe the science is <br />clear and feels removing the dam is the best option. They are not interested in working <br />with the County for a park plan and does not want any future studies. Council Member <br />Baker stated if public opinion is the focus and not relying on the science then we should <br />base the decision solely on public input by allowing the citizens to voice their opinion. <br />Council Member Derrick would like more of a hybrid option. She would like to see <br />someone go over the previous studies and provide additional information on how much it <br />would cost to repair and how much it would cost to remove the dam. She believes the <br />park will be accessible muck quicker if we remove the dam. <br />Since Council consensus is to discuss with the County to ensure they are still interested, <br />Mr. Lumbreras will work with the county and an item will be brought forward at a <br />subsequent meeting to define an Interlocal agreement. <br />EXECUTIVE SESSION <br />2.
