This land is owned by <br />the public and we believe the City is still trying to monetize this land by asserting that this land <br />is worth $90 million and therefore negating the Surplus Land Act. We do not want to pay for <br />this land twice. Losing Willowick is irreversible, and having green spaces in this area for <br />nature and community recreation is absolutely vital. Please follow the Surplus Land Act and <br />give super -priority to Trust for Public Land's proposal. It is the only proposal that both follows <br />the law and aligns with the community's vision. The Surplus Land Act process is a public <br />process for publicly -owned land. I urge you to make the 90-day negotiation process <br />transparent to the public by explaining publicly how the City is prioritizing proposals. This is <br />an opportunity to make a decision that will have a permanent impact on this area, and I dearly <br />hope you will choose the community over monetary interests. People need access to <br />affordable housing in a green space! <br />Thank you <br />Morgan Turner <br />msmorganturner@gmaii.com <br />16521 Los Verdes Lane <br />Huntington Beach, California 92649 <br />
