Development Agreement / Parkline vs. Willow Village

Councilmembers Taylor and Schmidt,

Congratulations on your appointment to the Parkline Development Agreement Ad Hoc Subcommittee. We look forward to your strong voices in the Development Agreement negotiations for this 61-acre project

Related to the mechanics of the process:

1. How will the City arrange for community meetings so that the public can provide input to directly to Councilmembers and staff, in person?
2. How will youth voices in our community be included in the discussion?
3. How will the public be able to see what is being proposed by the Subcommittee, and the counter proposals from the developer, and the ongoing progress?

The community is looking for support for our youth:

1. Multi-purpose recreational sports field for youth - Regulation size (360 ft L x 225 ft W), programmed through the City, turf, lighted
2. Reikes style community center

The negotiations for the 59-acre Willow Village Development Agreement were transparent to the public. Below are the Willow Village amenities with a value of $180 million dollars, and the Parkline amenities which as you know are to-be-negotiated. This information is available on the Citys Willow Village webpage.

Thank you so much. Andrew Barnes. Menlo Park
