In all my walks with my dogs in Mission Trails Park I have never seen any of the councilmen or women. They probably have absolutely no apprecation of the physical and historical fact of Flanders Mansion being central to the Park and essential for access and enjoyment of the park.
So here we have a situation where five people have no clue about the Mansion and the Park and have no concern about the users of the park either.
