 Interested in a museum – 21 st century theme idea  A Native American Museum should be incorporated into the final plan of the Great Park  How much space will be allowed for museums that have been selected to have a space in the Great Park?  The Pretend City should be allowed to build their facility at the Great Park. It is attended by hundreds of students and children each year. PICKLE BALL  We’d like to see pickle ball courts  Jim has access to over 100,000 signatures from the community wanting this  Would like lit pickle ball courts—built and developed his own courts in local elementary school  Lifelong Learning (at UCI)—would like a centrally located building for classes because it’s getting shut down at UCI  Some of the tennis courts can be lined for pickle ball  We want to see dedicated pickle ball courts with shade and lights  Many people want pickle ball at other courts  In support of the tennis courts being available for pickle ball as well.  Over a 100 people a day play pickle ball down in San Clemente and the City should try to get that group to move to Irvine. PUBLIC OUTREACH  Does the website have a timeline?  Why wasn’t the survey ever put online?  You could get more responses from the people who really care of the development of the Great Park if you put the survey online  The survey should be on the City website  The City cannot remove gardens from master plan and not tell anyone.  Survey didn’t have a place to house a botanical garden. People don’t know if they didn’t read the original plan.  Is the information of what’s going to be open on the website?  I didn’t know about this meeting until yesterday, this was not advertised well  Are there going to be other meetings? When/where?  How long is the City going to be taking surveys?  Is the survey going to be online?  What are the gray areas on all of the display boards?  What is the best way to voice your concern about the current plan?  Is the survey available online for families that are not here?  The survey is already skewed because gardens is not one of the priority uses that can be ranked  Why haven’t we put the survey online? Not everyone can attend the meetings  The City needs to add “garden” as a fifth priority ranking in the survey  Does the City really care for the public’s input? These meetings are not enough  The Great Park website does not have any information on the new developments
