King County Councilmember Bob Fergusen speaks up on 60 Acres South. User group activities on 60 Acres will be logged here.

Dear Bob:

Thank you for forwarding me the link to your blog posts regarding 60 Acres Park. I received a considerable amount of email when the LWYSA proposal was before the council, so I know it is an issue that concerns many in the Redmond community. Although I did not vote in favor of the lease agreement, my hope moving forward is that the people who care about 60 Acres will be able to work together and find creative solutions to harmoniously accommodate a variety of uses. Please feel free to contact me in the future. -- Bob, 11/10

Dear Councilmember Ferguson -

Thank you for your interest in understanding Redmond's desire for community use of 60 Acres South. It's a great county park and we thank you for it!

10/30 From Larry Phillips, KC Councilmember*

"Mr. Yoder, I wanted to be sure that King County, which owns the park on behalf of taxpayers, remains informed and able to intervene should irresolvable issues arise at any time during the 30-year agreement. Thus, I sponsored two additional amendments as follows:

1) King County Parks is required to alert the King County Council of any unresolved issues at Sixty Acres Park via quarterly reports;
2)King County retains the right to intervene to resolve any disputes that may arise between LWYSA, other user groups, and the general public.

More information about this legislation (Ordinance 2008-0475) can be found at the following link HERE. Click on documents in the “Attachments” window for details"
