1. The land for the park be purchased with funds
other than those budgeted to the Department of Parks
and Recreation.
2. The cost of design and development of the park
come from funds other than those budgeted for the
Department of Parks and Recreation.
3. Funds to maintain the park come from funds other
than those budgeted for the Department of Parks and
Recreation.

Art Center site as long as the City is not responsible for
the purchase or maintenance, but the area would be privately
purchased and maintained. This would relieve the City Parks
of future liability or responsibility.
