To whom it may concern:
I am writing to you today to request the City of Monterey immediately rescind the demand to remove all disc golf equipment from Ryan Ranch Open Space.
It has come to my attention that the City of Monterey has made the request to remove disc golf equipment from Ryan Ranch Open Space. This request is unwarranted. The sport is non-intrusive and has no negative impact on the Ryan Ranch Open Space. In addition, the local disc golf community has historically worked with the City of Monterey to host sanctioned disc golf events and maintain the Ryan Ranch Open Space. Nevertheless, the City of Monterey refuses to develop temporary or permanent site use agreements with the Monterey Stinging Jellies. As such, I request the City Manager (Hans Uslar) and the City Mayor (Clyde Roberson) as well as the Monterey City Council immediately engage in developing plans to continue using the Ryan Ranch Open Space as a disc golf facility.
I’m confident that our city government, both appointed and elected, can work collaboratively with the Monterey Stinging Jellies to resolve this disagreement. As a result, the City would find a partner in preserving delicate and precious open space in Monterey County while simultaneously promoting safe and affordable recreation opportunities for county residents and visitors alike.
Thank you for your consideration
