The CIP is <br /> a planning document. <br /> Board Member Bentz asked about the City saying there is too much park property and looking at <br /> ways to sell it off. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated that the City did complete an inventory of city-owned land and <br /> identified land as not serving a purpose to be marketed for sale. <br /> Board Member Bentz asked about a requirement for set aside for development purposes. <br /> City Planner Anderson responded that there is a park dedication requirement that can be satisfied <br /> with land or cash or a combination of both.

He thinks it is crucial now to <br /> community survival. <br /> Board Member Valentine agreed with Commissioner Brauer and stated that there are plenty of <br /> people that think it is a dirty word. <br /> Commissioner Brauer spoke about the need for a discussion on what do we mean by it and how <br /> do we plan on doing about it.
