We were glad to hear that a Park Plan is <br />in development and can assist in addressing this problem. Unfortunately may of the neighbors where not able to call in <br />for comments last meeting due to a mishap concerning call in numbers, but a few of them have now decided to send a <br />written comment too. <br /> <br />We would like to see the petition ,which list the persons, who want the handball courts. Jonathan seemed to want to tear <br />apart the petition we provided when he did not review the other one and provide that information. Dolores's family is <br />probable 80% of that petition, so that counts as one per Jonathan. Also we have had petitions signed in the past wanting <br />to have the handball courts removed by many who grew up here and saw the devastating effect they were now having on <br />the neighborhood. Yes, there is a history regarding removing the handball courts, but was mostly delayed due to the city <br />did not have the money. We wish Jonathans passion on this issue would be more of a mediator with the neighborhood <br />than an activist. It's very disheartening to have my family name attacked. What kind of councilman allows this and <br />encourages it. Chepa Andrade was an outstanding women, activist etc. for this neighborhood which would not even be <br />here now if she had not help fight for it with Sam Romero and others. Very disrespectful with the current graffiti now <br />happening. Juan Villegas was compassionate about our neighborhood and a much better representative/councilman. <br /> <br />We want what is best for the neighborhood!!! We want a safe, healthy and happy environment for ALL Logan Neighbors, <br />this should not be some kind of power struggle. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br />Joe Andrade <br />Sam Romero <br />Michael Andrade <br />Pam Andrade <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br />
