V. 30 Minute Citizen Comment Period Dianne Wassenich, stated that she is grateful the County brought the topic of Cape's Dam to the forefront. Flood infrastructure and mitigation has been the City's focus since 2015. Today is a great time to work on this park because we have a grant writer. Since this is in a low-income area this will assist us in getting grants. The continued health of the river is essential for this community and not just this neighborhood. Look at all past studies and if you need more information get a real expert for a second opinion. Fish and Wildlife will want to know how you will handle issues with the island holes and the broken-down dam. Which alternative will take years and years to permit? Don't go with that option. She believes that dam removal will get the park open sooner. Walt Meitzen, provided his view as a recreationist and proud resident of San Marcos. He would like to see the City of San Marcos reopen Stokes park by City of San Marcos Page 1
