"...However, if the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board determines that a neighborhood park is not feasible or advisable, it may recommend to the City Council that a cash contribution pursuant to our ordinance be accepted in lieu of land dedication. The City Council will either accept the recommendation for a cash contribution or return the subdivision plat to the Parks Board with instructions or further study."

The development was presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on September 9, 2002. See attached minutes.

Carl Totemeir said the park would improve the quality of life and improve the economic impact on the community. Park staff has been looking for a large parcel of land for a September 9, 2002 / 3 • PRAB Regular Meeting community park. Finding land conducive for athletic playing fields and at affordable cost has been difficult.
