SLO County Parks Department Uses Commissioner Nash-Karner's Home for "Retreat," and Conducts Public Business

TO: Curtis Black, Deputy Director, SLO County Parks Department
DATE: 2/26/10

Dear Mr. Black,

On the "Previous Parks Commission Meeting Minutes" page at this link:

http://www.slocountyparks.com/information/pcommprevmeetmins.htm

... it reads (for the 1/28/10 meeting):

"Commissioner Hilton thanked Commissioner Nash-Karner for the use of her home for the Park Commission retreat."

and;

"12. Update on Needs Assessment and Approval of a Commissioner(s) to Participate on the Needs Assessment Team. Dileo said she provided an update at Park Commission retreat but asked at that time for a committee be created to assist with review. Commissioners Gonzales and Nash-Karner volunteered and both were appointed to the needs assessment committee. Dorothy Jennings commented on needs assessment development model."

and;

"Curtis Black said staff has withdrawn their recommendation to pursue the tri-W project."

Please consider this e-mail a public records request for ALL documents associated with the above mentioned "retreat" -- including how it was arranged, and what was discussed at it -- and for ALL documents associated with the SLO County Parks Dept.'s "recommendation to pursue the tri-W project."

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter,
Ron
