Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - April 3, 1991 (73)PUBLIC HEARINGS CITY COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 3, 1991 Notice thereof having been published according to law, an affidavit of which publication is on file in the office of the City Clerk, Mayor Hinchman called for the Public Hearing to consider recommendation of the Lodi Parks and Recreation Commission to ban the conducting of organized track meets/events and bicycling in the nature area at Lodi Lake Park. RECOMMENDATION OF LODI PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO BAN THE CONDUCTING OF ORGANIZED TRACK MEETS/EVENTS AND BICYCLING IN THE NATURE AREA AT LODI LAKE PARK CC -27(c) The matter was introduced by Parks and Recreation Director Ron Williamson and Park Superintendent Scott Essin. The City Council was advised that at a meeting held in January 1991, the .advised Area Advisory Committee recommended to the Lodi Parks and Recreation Commission that all track meets/events being held in the Nature Area, along with bicycling be banned. Their reasoning was the interpretation of the Richard Bigler (Lodi Lake Park Master Plan) where he called for limited and moderate use of the Nature Area and in light of the tremendous damage that is currently taking place in the area. The NAAC indicated that major track events and bicycles are going off of the main rails and causing widening and destruction to the area by nonsensitive people/citizers, etc. The Committee also indicated that this is their effort to interpret the Bigler plan and make the Commission aware of area problems/concerns. The Parks and Recreation Commission heard the recommendation at their meeting of February 5, 1991, and solicited comments from both NAAC representatives at the meeting and citizens. After an hour of comments, the Commission asked that the issue be put on the March Commission Agenda to give them a month to talk to residents and get opinions on what to do. It was also decided by Chairman Bob Johnson that the Parks staff bring back an interpretation of the Bigler Master Plan and what its position is on uses of this area. The item was again put on the agenda in March with representatives from NAAC, Lodi Lake docents, park rangers and general citizens (approximately 20 people) present. Positions on this subject on this subject were presented. Scott Essin, Parks Superintendent, recapped the Master Plan. Citizens spoke out on bicycling almost exclusively, dealing with restrictions, children and families enjoying the area, etc. After an hour of presentations it was brought back to the table for a vote. A motion voting in favor of banning organized track events and bicycles in the Nature Area, and Elvera Melby and Dennis Jones voting against the ban.
