McMillan Development
- The McMillan HPRB Hearing held on Thursday, May 26, 2016, on Public parcels, including the park, service courts and elements within those parcels that were refined since HPRB approval in October 2013, were approved.
Single Member District 5E04 meeting held on Thursday, June 9, 2016, resulted in the following actions:
Security
- A Metropolitan Police Department 5D log book for officers to sign in and out when they visit the center during each shift. The officer's visits are designed to add a level of security at the site. The presence or potential presence, at any given time, of a 5D officer will quell some of the problematic activities residents complain about most. The new log book was dropped off at the center this afternoon.
- Officer Mark Lakomec 5D and I conducted a safety evaluation of the field and playground. We discovered that the two gates between Choice Academy and the basketball court were open. The gate between the playground and Langley Education Campus is locked. However, the lock could easily be opened with pliers. The lock must be replaced. Weeds cover the fence between the swimming pool and the playground area. For safety purposes, everyone should be able to see from one area to the other. The fence between McKinley Technology High School and the playground has a man-made opening where enough dirt was dug out under the fence a young person can crawl under the fence into the playground at night. The fence separating the alley behind T Street and the field has a man-made opening under the fence large enough for young adults to squeeze through and enter the field at night.
All of the landscaping is overgrown. The football field and pool are the only bright spots at the Harry Thomas Recreation Center. They appear to be well kempt.
The safety and landscaping issues were reported to the Department of Parks and Recreation and Department of General Services on Wednesday, June 22, 2016 and Friday, June 24, 2016.
