HomeMy WebLinkAboutBartlett Park - Council Ad Hoc Committee Created - SubmittedTo: Honorable Mayor and City Council M tubers
From: Jill Hardy, City Council Member
Joe Carchio, City Council Member
Date: August 12, 2013
Subject: CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE AUGUST 19, 2013,
CITY COUNCIL MEETING — CREATE CITY COUNCIL AD HOC
COMMITTEE ON BARTLETT PARK
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Bartlett Park is one of two undeveloped parks in Huntington Beach. Multiple agencies
have an interest in the park, which has been one obstacle to development. Funding is
another obstacle. A development plan was approved by the City Council in 2010, but it
has yet to receive approval of the other agencies with jurisdiction. In addition, many
organizations and individuals in the city have expressed an interest in volunteering time
and money to implement the development plan once it is finalized.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Create a City Council Ad Hoc Committee on Bartlett Park. This committee will meet
quarterly with staff to receive updates on the status of the development plan and help
organize volunteer efforts once the plan is approved.

Description: Dear Huntington Beach Council Members,
My name is Dan Nichols and I am writing today to voice my ongoing concern with the
state of Bartlett Park. As a local business owner, longtime HB resident and homeowner
in the adjacent Landmark tract for nearly 10 years, my family, neighbors, and I are
hopeful that real progress can be made to transform the negative environment and recent
tragedy into a new beginning for a plan of action for turning the park into a haven for all
residents, visitors, and protected species of animals.
Please read the attached pdf file for additional comment.
Kind regards,
Dan Nichols

Dear Huntington Beach Council Member,
My name is Dan Nichols and I am writing today to voice my ongoing concern with the state of
Bartlett Park. As a local business owner, longtime HB resident and homeowner in the adjacent
Landmark tract for nearly 10 years, my family, neighbors, and I are hopeful that real progress
can be made to transform the negative environment and recent tragedy into a new beginning
for a plan of action for turning the park into a haven for all residents, visitors, and protected
species of animals.
What many see as blight, a hub for drug dealing, and homeless encampments, I see a future of
children playing, visitors enjoying hikes through, and birdwatchers appreciating the many
species that make the park home.
With this in mind I would like to volunteer to serve on the newly formed committee as a voice
for good, positive, and creative solutions for the future vision of the park. If there are no
volunteer spots available, I would appreciate being on any communications list where the park
is discussed or plan of action is formed.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts and support of our community and Bartlett Park as we move
forward.
Kind regards,
Dan Nichols
