City Parks Meeting re: Beacon Hill

The meeting is Thursday July 14th at City Hall in the City Council Chambers in the basement, from 1:30-3:30PM.

In parallel with our work with County Parks on CF, we’ve also been working with City Parks on a proposed public ownership structure for Beacon.  We’ve met with several committees of the parks board, and have attended several meetings of the parks board in it’s entirety.  We’re at the point where the parks board will be taking a vote on agreeing to take ownership of several parcels adjacent to Sekani once we can secure funding via Conservation Futures or other grants.  This is critical.

At the board meetings I’ve attended to date, there have been 2 or fewer members of the public present.  The room has seating for 200.  If we can fill the place, they would have a tough time not voting to take ownership of these parcels to help us save Beacon.  Please, if you can come it would be huge
