Reports on both parks received via email from Lucas Crank. Reviewed by Board. No action taken.

    a. Barstow Heights Park— No updates on park. The parking lot re-pavement has been completed; Board is happy with the finished project. The driveway on H Street side of park may be done later. Director Low indicates someone filled up the dumpster on Beryl St. that was not park “trash”. Board notes that vendors selling tacos and another one selling churros have been consistently setting up on the Rimrock side of H Street Park selling items cooked “on-site”. When approached by Board President, individuals present assert language barrier to understanding situation. Code violations noted by Board members, first and foremost, permission not granted by the BHCSD Board, cooking on site, selling unpackaged/opened food items, and congestion in the area have caused traffic issues and concern for pedestrians in the area. San Bernardino County Code Enforcement has been notified with no resolve. Local law enforcement has been notified and area is and will be modified with proper signage denoting “no unauthorized solicitors….” in English and Spanish.
