Resident warns of stalled $13 million work at 2nd Lake; commissioners told to refer to Parks & Recreation
Summary
In public comment a resident said he found incomplete work and no crews at a $13 million renovation project at 2nd Lake, and reported that trenching cut a Frontier phone line; the Arts and Historical Preservation Commission advised the commenter to bring the issue to the Parks & Recreation Commission.
A resident and local historical-group member raised urgent concerns about progress and oversight of a multiyear renovation at 2nd Lake, telling the Arts and Historical Preservation Commission he found incomplete work and alleged Southern California Edison trenching had severed Frontier phone lines.
"$13,000,000 project, ladies and gentlemen... there was no 1 working there," the commenter said, describing overgrown pavement, half-completed work and a lack of visible crews. He said he toured the site and asked the commission to query project management and funding oversight.
Commissioners and staff suggested the Parks and Recreation Commission is the appropriate body to review the capital-project status and that the commenter should raise the matter there; staff also recommended the speaker bring his documentation to the Parks and Rec meeting. Vanessa, staff, noted the arts/historical body is distinct from Parks & Rec and said she would include the concern in materials passed to the responsible department.
The transcript records the allegation but no staff accounting, contract number or project schedule was presented in this meeting. Commissioners asked staff to forward the public comments to Parks & Rec and to the appropriate project managers so the matter can be investigated further.
