Special Meeting of the Hancock Neighborhood Association March 3, 2021

The City's schedule for the future of the Hancock golf course is still on track with a couple of key dates coming up: A survey from PARD about the golf course will be coming out soon and following the survey, PARD is expected to present their recommendation at the Parks board meeting on April 27th.

Following our HNA January 20th meeting where PARD presented on the golf course and answered questions, the HNA Executive Committee has decided to call a special community engagement meeting on the Hancock Golf course's future rather than waiting for our regularly scheduled HNA meeting on Wednesday, March 17th. The special meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 3rd, at 7 pm using Zoom (information below).

The meeting will start with a brief introduction from HNA and will be followed by presentations from both the Hancock Golf Course Conservancy and Hancock Conservancy. Each group will provide a short, 15-minute educational presentation that will include their vision for the Hancock golf course's future and supporting information on their initiatives. Following each presentation, there will be 15 minutes of Q and A for each group.

While members will be able to ask questions from the floor, please post your questions on the HNA Groups.IO email list. We'll share those questions with both groups in advance of the meeting so they'll be prepared to answer your questions.

This meeting is being conducted for informational purposes only and no resolutions or votes will be conducted at this meeting. We're looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting and are eager to see your questions!

POSTPONED: November 18, 2020 Meeting of the Hancock Neighborhood Association

Dear Hancock Neighborhood Association Members

The purpose of this email is to inform everyone that's tonight 's much anticipated HNA regular meeting has been postponed.

Because of the interest in tonight 's meeting and the vote on competing resolutions regarding the future of the Hancock Golf Course, we attempted to put in place a structure that limited attendance at the meeting to just HNA members. To accomplish this, we asked asked that HNA members register with me by Sunday so that we could provide a Zoom link only to HNA members. Unfortunately, many existing members, who
have every right to attend the meeting, only contacted us last night and today , which caused us to exceed the maximum number on the Zoom meeting. As a result, we concerned that some HNA members would not be able to attend the meeting and vote on the resolutions.

In addition, it came to our attention that, at 4:15 this afternoon, the Hancock Conservancy sent out an email calling for anyone interested in attending tonight ’s Hancock Neighborhood Association meeting to call one of its organizers to get a Zoom link to the HNA meeting. As indicated above, we have been going to great lengths to keep tonight 's meeting limited to just HNA members. The Hancock Conservancy’s
solicitation of attendees and request that they vote for its resolution compromises the HNA’s ability to decide alone and without interference which resolution the residents of the HNA want to support. Because the Zoom link to this evening’s meeting is being made public, there is no practical way to ensure that only HNA members vote.

We will keep you advised as to how we might be able to address these problems and when November's regular meeting will be rescheduled. Please stay tuned to Yahoo! groups and the HNA website for information.
