COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />Case #5.1: Review City Owned Land Inventory <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood reviewed in the staff report that over the past year staff prepared an <br />inventory of City owned land for the purpose of identifying what parcels may be sold. The <br />purpose of this case is to remind the Commission and the Public that now that the inventory is <br />done this will be moving forward incrementally for those various parcels to be considered. One <br />of the parcels deemed underutilized and a candidate for sale is a one -acre corner lot known as <br />Peltzer Park. <br />Commissioner Bennett asked could you provide insight how staff determined how the park was <br />underutilized. <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood responded that is part of the case attachments. <br />Commissioner Minke asked is there an estimate as to the value of that parcel or the thought of <br />how it would be marketed and the thought the playground be removed and marketed. <br />Park Supervisor Riverblood stated the County has the value of that property as $40- 46,000, it <br />may not sell for that much, any sale price gets the land back on the tax roll. The play equipment <br />is $35- 45,000. This will be going to City Council on March 27 for further discussion. <br />Commissioner Minke asked what happens if the playground equipment is taken off and the lot <br />doesn't sell for a long time. <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood stated the playground equipment could be moved to a higher <br />density area. <br />Commissioner Barr asked do you know how it is zoned. <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood responded it is residential. It is not sewer and water. The lot is <br />buildable. <br />Case #5.2: Ramsey's Environmental Expo <br />Park Supervisor stated that the Environmental Expo is April 28` The purpose of this case is to <br />discuss which Commissioners will be available to staff our booth. <br />Vice Chair Olsen wanted to comment this is a fun event for the entire family, not just the adults. <br />Commissioner Barr volunteered to staff the booth from 8:30 — 10:15am Commissioner Minke <br />stated he can do the morning shift as well.
