Ember provided history <br />2. Tom said he talked to Matt Jones (previous LOSCAB & OSAB). Matt said that <br />dogs on Davidson Mesa and human/dog interaction was cause for creation of off- <br />leash area. Small area of impact to large Davidson Mesa.

He noted that degradation continues and that dunes of <br />blown dirt are accumulating in the parking lot. He said that perhaps a <br />management plan needs to be in place. He noted that parking continues to be <br />an issue. Can the land be restored? Long-term cost? (Parking, safety, <br />management). Should we look at turning it over to someone else? Should we <br />look at relocating it? <br />
