Item VII.B. Parks, Trees & Beach Maintenance Divisions Activties
Report
The report doesn’t mention the public comments received at the September 13, 2016, City
Council meeting about the unauthorized removal (that is, theft) of the City-owned harborfront
memorial bench on the Peninsula at the corner of Buena Vista and Edgewater, regarding which
the Commission had heard, and rejected, a request from neighboring homeowners that it be
moved.
For reference, acceptance of the bench was Item 4.C at the Commission’s January 7, 2003,
meeting. Denial of the request to move it was Item 6.D at the November 3, 2015, meeting.
