1. Flamingo Park Historic Lodge Building
The Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association urges the City to make the restoration of
the Historic Lodge in Flamingo Park the first activity undertaken in the Phase 2 Flamingo
Park improvements. The Historic Lodge is a contributing structure in the Flamingo Park
Historic District. It is severely deteriorated and is in danger of demolition by neglect. The
City must follow its own laws regarding demolition by neglect and not allow further
deterioration of this iconic historic building.
2. Changes/ New Uses in Flamingo Park
Resolution regarding temporary day care facilities in Flamingo Park and a city-funded
feasibility study for making the use permanent. Under Sec. 2-14 of the city code,
Residents' Right to Know, the city shall provide "timely opportunities for input" on
matters that impact resident quality of life, including developments that would change
uses in a public park (2 -14(b)(3)). By this motion we confirm that the placement of new
service facilities in Flamingo Park (permanent relocation of a daycare facility to the PAL
building and its temporary relocation to trailers) is a policy change impacting our
neighborhood quality of life. We therefore urge, per city law and policy, that the matter
be brought to the FPNA before expending funds or taking the matter to the Commission.
