Resident tells commission Tamarisk Park events strain limited parking, asks staff to coordinate with Traffic Commission
Sean Fletcher, a 23‑year resident and Clean Lake Forest volunteer, spoke during public comment about recurring conflicts at Tamarisk Park where Little League and other youth programs sometimes overlap with unpermitted groups.

Fletcher said the park has "less than 2 dozen spots" and that the city did not add parking when it assumed control of the park. He said the city removed earlier restrictions on RV and oversized vehicle parking in 2009 and that at times "there could be up to 3 RVs" occupying park spaces, making weekend parking especially difficult. "The city needs to figure out how to provide a balance to where a community park can be effectively used by both a permitted program and the residents of the city while also not impacting the surrounding neighborhoods," Fletcher said.

Deputy City Manager McGovern told Fletcher staff can follow up and said residents can also use the city's customer service management (ALF) system to file complaints about park use and parking; staff indicated they would report back to the commission after follow‑up.

Next steps: staff to follow up with the resident and coordinate with the Traffic and Parking Commission as appropriate; residents encouraged to submit issues via the city's service request system.
