Hammock Advisory Committee consolidation

Delivered a 190-signature petition (65 volunteering to serve) and asked the commission to halt the merger, fill HAC's six vacant seats, and if consolidating, build in success metrics and an automatic rollback provision.

A lifelong resident and former city manager who sees merit in combining conservation-area efforts, calling the wave of Hammock volunteers a great sign of community support for green space.

Read a letter from Friends of the Hammock President Carry O'Brien supporting the interim plan to refill HAC seats but asking the city to adopt measurable success indicators for both the interim and merged phases.

A newer resident near the park worried the Hammock is a watershed for her neighborhood and that inadequate advisory oversight could damage homes downstream; she'd never heard of the HAC until days ago.
