The solar projects would be the first on-site solar installations for City operations, but no contractor was selected at this meeting. Staff said restoring areas affected by buckthorn removal could take about 10 years and recommended seeking grants of roughly $500,000 for larger restoration work after the habitat plan is approved. Residents suggested better trail signage and discussed possible changes to the dog park, but no relocation decision was made.
