Subject: Pleasant View Fields (PVF)
Dear Ms Jackson,
Thank you for your response to my inquiry
I would appreciate your forwarding a copy of a letter that I recently sent to the Parks & Rec
Department, to the Advisory Board members
I was tempted to attach a number of art~cles that have appeared in the Daily Camera, including
a recent article by Clay Evans, but mstead I suggest the board visit the Camera's web and peruse
both sides of the commentary on this sub~ect
I still don't understand how this pro~ect was authorized. I remember voting on a bond issue to acquire and
develop parks, but I am not aware of any exclusive use by any group
Thank you for your ass~stance

Dear Ms Dropinski,
I would like to add my voice to that of others who are discomforted with the prospect of fencing PVF and
subsequently denyinq community access.
It is very hard for me to support exclusrve use of a facility that, to best of my knowledge, was acqwred and
developed with tax- payer funds Furthermore, it is my understanding that ma~ntenance of this facility is only
partially funded by user fees
I appreciate the difficulty and challenges that your department has to deal with regarding abuse and vandalism
of our parks and recreation faculties, but that in its own right is not ~ustification to exclude the public use If the
tax paying public desves to have public amenities then there must be sufficient budget dollars to maintain
these faalities and enforce reasonabie rules and regulation
Respectlully,
~
