The minutes from the November 4, 1991 PRAB meeting were
approved unanimously 4-0.
II. GREEN SPACE ORDINANCE PROPOSAL PRESENTATION
Edmonston discussed the legality of changing the
ordinance for park development only, not land
acquisition. Jerry Rose, City Attorney, counseled that
it would not be legal. Rogers Parks Department had an
ordinance that was declared unconstitutional because it
was for development only. The only acquisition of land
from the Green Space Ordinance has been from land
dedication requirements. A check has never been written
to purchase land from the Green Space account. A
presentation of PRAB's Green Space recommendation will be
made to the City Board of Directors at their regular
meeting tonight at 7:30 p.m.
III. PRAB & CITY BOARD ANNUAL MEETING
This meeting is tentatively set for December 3, 1991.
The PRAB will present the parks needs, especially for
Gulley Park. There will be a meeting Thursday at 5:00
p.m. at the Parks office to prepare an agenda for this
meeting.
IV. LAKE SEQUOYAH LAND LEASE PROPOSAL BY DONALD COUCH
Mr. Couch would like this item tabled until Dale Clark

that the City is required to let bids on leasing land and
there would need to be a fence approximately 100 yards
from the Lake on this property that is leased.
