DESCRIPTION:We need your help to give the City staff the strength to uphold the 
 resolution the City Council ratified last week, and negotiate the lease 
 renewal for all of this small but important garden.  As of now, the 
 landowner is proposing to remove a third of the land from the garden (to 
 convert it to equipment storage), starting next Friday, November 13.\n\nThe 
 City has set up a meeting tomorrow to discuss the landowners' proposal with 
 representatives from Parks and Rec, the mayor and several council 
 members.\n\nWe need supporters to come out to show the city that it must 
 try to negotiate with the landowners to renew the lease on the whole beach 
 flats community garden. \n\nFor many years the City "leased" the land 
 without paying the owner.  Now we are asking the city to explore other 
 possibilities offering payment or to the landowner with a lease, until a 
 purchase plan can be developed.  \n\nThank you so much for coming out to 
 previous community meetings to support the beach flats community garden.  
 Our work is not quite done. If we do not turn out again tomorrow, this 
 small garden in a very dense neighborhood garden risks being reduced in 
 size by 33%.\n\nMembers of the Beach Flats Garden Coalition were so pleased 
 when the City Council voted last week to direct city staff to work with the 
 seaside company with the goal of purchasing the existing garden site, and 
 to negotiate to extend the lease on the current garden while staff works on 
 the purchase options.  \n\nLet's help them make every effort to achieve the 
 goal. \n\nPASS THE WORD\n
