Rebid twice due to the high bidding client. And on the second rebid we received two bids that unfortunately with the still approximately 200,000 over the construction budget of 1 is. 6 million. Since this project is funded by two grants, the general funds were obtained to proceed to recommendation of the award of the construction project. This maybe the play structure can be implemented as part of construction contract later on. As i mentioned, the Funding Sources are grant funds the Funds Community Development grants [ indiscernible ]. The state of california grant we obtained in october of 2018 for 625,108.

Should not be picking up trash. Throughout the vision process, the community has been stone called and manipulated by a plan. The community does not want large areas of the park restored to arbitrary point in native plant history. We do not want pesticides, we do not want healthy trees cut down and trails closed and socalled natural areas closed off to the public. We want the money spent on repairing the asphalt path system. We want all, not some to be safe. When using a paved path, we expect it to be usable for the elderly, families with strollers and people with mobility issues. The trails in mclaren do need attention, but we dont want the bond money to go toward the natural areas plan, its not what we voted for and not what we discussed in the envision plan. 949 people have signed a change. Org petition supporting this view. They cant all be here today, but they signed onto that, so please, the whole plan is great except for the 3. 5 million. Next speaker. Ace, im here to speak on a

Since it has been neglected for so long and now they have more beautification and renovations coming up. This is something that we would like to see in our Community Garden, we would like to actually ask you for the funding for the Community Garden and we thank the program, when youre talking about the v
