BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mr. Karl Greenlee, President of the Parkview Terrace Homeowners' Association, approached the City Council on April 3, 1991, to make a formal request to install/ maintain a self-locking access gate between Parkview Terrace subdivision and Glaves Park. The council referred Mr. Greenlee to the parks and Recreation Commission for consideration of this request. See letter from Mr. Greenlee, dated April 1, 1991, (EXHIBIT A), and City Attorney's mems, dated April 5, 1991, (EXHIBIT B) attached. At our May 7, 1991, Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Mr. Greenlee appeared before the Commission and made his request. After lengthy discussion about agreements, liabilities, locking and unlocking the gate during basin water storage, etc., the Commission voted 4-0 to recommend that the Parkview Terrace residents be allowed access between Parkview Terrace subdivision and Glaves Park. Installation, maintenance and appropriate insurance will be at the homeowners' association's expense.

PETERSON �J* City Manager racycted paper CCCI AVES .TXTLINDA CC.1 EXHIBIT A To: Lodi Parks and Recreation Commission Fron: Karl Greenlee, President of the Parkview Homeowners Assoc. Subject: Installation of a gate into Henry Glaves Park from fence bor"ering Parkview Terrace for the convenience of the homeowners. We request that the homeowners association be allowed to place a gate into Henry Glaves Park along the north fence bordering Parkview Terrace and said park. The homeowners association are suggesting the installation of a gate similar to the 'walk-in' gate now located adjacent to the drive in gates at the entrance to the Terrace. This gate is one that is opened by a key and is spring loaded to close automatically. Our suggestion is that -the gati installed at the fence between the park and our area be keyed the same as our front gate, therefore insuring the security intended for our area. We also understand that Henry Glaves Park serves as a 'ponding basin' for water retention and therefore there will be times that <�the City wi11 have to chain, the gate 'closed' and we will not be ,permitted access due to impending rain or storms. We also understand that the City is mandated by Public Works to close basins based on long range weather forecasts and therefore the gate may be 'chained shut' on a Friday and although no rain occurs the basin is closed for the entire weekend as we do not send out someone during the weekend or holidays to open any of the basins. The opening and closing of all City basins is done during normal work hours, other than emergencies. We also understand that if the gate is installed that all maintenance of said gate will be borne by our association. I am more than willing to approach the Commission with this request. Thank you for your consideration.
