He displayed a trail map, noting the connections with community parks and a map depicting Outlot E, 37 acres in Moors Addition. He reviewed communications held with the Northfork Homeowner's Association relating to the use of this property and need to assure that if this park is accepted, it will serve the community's needs. With regard to cost, Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated the recommendation is to hold a public workshop to hold a discussion so it can be determined whether the City should accept land in lieu of cash for park dedication. The Council discussed its support of an engagement process, noting it is similar to the process successfully used with Sunfish Lake Park. The Council asked staff to also address the tax impact should this property be used for park rather than housing. Motion by Councilmember LeTourneau, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to schedule a public workshop to discuss the concept of a park on Outlot E, Moors Addition.
