Public Works Director Olson responded the Council had to decide what the intent of the Ordinance was. Councilmember Elvig stated he was concerned about the park dedication. Planning Manager Miller responded the park dedication was land and the amount equates to $304,000. Councilmember Elvig stated he did not want the City to own the acreage and sit on it or take a lesser price. Public Works Director Olson stated the City either took cash or land and when the City took land, it is based on the percentage of platted property and not on the value of the land. Councilmember Elvig noted typically, when the City took land, it was for a park purpose. He stated the question was not if the City wanted the land or cash, but that the developer wants to give the land to the City. He indicated that would be okay if the numbers worked. He stated the City needed the cash. Councilmember Dehen stated he was not interested in taking land in lieu of cash. He stated the City owned too much land right now and he did not want to acquire more.
