Friends of Santa Teresa Park Meeting, 2/2/06
- Attendees: Mike, Dorene, & Marc Boulland, Ronald Horii, Kitty Monahan, Paul & Lenel Vincze, Holly Davis, Mario Blaum, Lynne Paulson
- $50K has been allocated for the master plan revision for Santa Teresa Park. It will involve the development of the Pyzak Ranch property.
- Money has been put back to start the old barn restoration. They need to get a grant to finish it. They have a design.
- A new negative declaration document for the Brockenhurst
trail entrance was sent out to the neighbors. It has been split off as
a separate issue from the trail development. A separate neg. dec. for
the trail was not out yet. They are working ont modifying the trail
plan to make it a multi-use trail.
- The city put out an informational brochure about the pig
problem. Joe Schultz accepted a multiple approach. Trapping can be
done. It will be up to the ranger to decide when to do trapping. Over
2500 pigs were trapped in other parks.
- Forrest Williams wanted us to look into getting grants for pig trapping and shooting. The University of California has a pellet that makes pigs sterile.
- Kathleen Hooper had a meeting to discuss geocaching.
- Mke met with Dave Hildebrand to talk about getting 5013c status. We can modify the one the Los Alamitos Creek organization used. Zoe Lofgren's aide will be reviewing it.
- Lynne Poulson talked about the Santa Teresa Foothills
Neighborhood Association. They will be meeting with the Water District
on opening part of the trail. They talked about changing the rules on
hillside development with Rachael Gibson. The People for Land and
Nature (PLAN) will have a November ballot issue on hillside protection.
The greenbelt designation only covers Coyote Valley. It does not cover
the hillsides. The ballot will have more rules for development in
out-lying areas of Santa Clara County.
- Ron showed pictures: fallen trees in the golf course,
Pueblo Area, and the Joice trail; pig damage in the park; school
visitors at the BGJ Ranch; fallen tree on the Joice Trail; and the condition
of the Hidden Springs Trail, Mine, Pueblo, and Joice trails.
- Our bank balance is $433.44.
