The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board came to order at 5:05 pm.
MINUTES: Minutes of the November 18, 1985 PRAB Meeting were
approved.
BUSINESS:
I. Pearson Park Proposal:
Danele Campbell presented a plan for developing a park on
t he southwest corner of West and Dickson Street. The loca-
tion was previously the old ice plant. The proposed park
would include acquisition of the land from Mr. Pearson. Ms.
Campbell's proposal of the park included a Botanical Garden,
Razorback Fountain, Sidewalk Cafe, and Restrooms. PRAB re-
sponded that they commended her for her concern, but due to
t he cost of land acquisition and the proposed park compared
to other park projects, the proposal would be low on the
P ark's priority list. PRAB suggested it would be tremendous
if someone commercially developed the area. PRAB further
stated that if the land should be donated for a public park,
the Parks Department would reconsider the park proposal.
