I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Case #2: Determine Park Dedication for Bona Addition With regard to Bona Addition, Parks/Utilities Coordinator Boos felt there is no path or anything that would be prudent to the City so he suggested a cash contribution for park dedication. Consensus of the Commission was to recommend to City Council that park dedication for the three new lots be satisfied in cash, based upon the minimum cash contribution, per lot, determined at the time of final plat approval. Commissioner Florentius arrived. Case #3: Approve Community Service Awards Parks/Utilities Coordinator Boos passed around the Community Service Award Certificates. He stated that City Council has requested to give out the awards and that he will contact the recipients of the awards. He added that Saxon Printing donated the certificates. Commissioner Florentius suggested that, if the Park and Recreation Commission didn't find it offensive to recognize the founder/initiator of the Green Tree Committee, she would like to submit her name along with others who were of assistance to her. Mr. Boos accepted her list of names. Consensus of the Commission was to approve the Community Service Award Certificates and direct City Staff to contact the recipients of the award and place this case on the January 26, 1993 City Council agenda. Case #4: Determine Park Dedication Rates Parks/Utilities Coordinator Boos disseminated a synopsis of surrounding cities' park dedication rates. He stated the rates should be determined annually by resolution. The suggested: rate formula is adding approximately 5% per year since 1989 which is the last time the park dedication rate was reviewed. Motion by Chairperson Hetland and seconded by Commissioner Cook to recommend to the City Council that the cash contribution for park dedication for single family rural housing with densities less than or equal to one unit per 3.3 acres, be increased from $350 per dwelling unit to $435 and that all other dwelling units increase to $620 as opposed to $500 per dwelling unit.
