Mr. Kingston stated he does not want to see development stopped until this park decision is made. Mr. Riverblood responded the Commission recommends items to the City Council. The City Council makes the ultimate decision. Staff is trying to provide solutions for all the moving pieces under one examination. Tentatively this will be discussed at the City Council Meeting on October 27th. That would be tentative upon staff and Mr. Peck having successful discussions on a number of outstanding issues. Commissioner Trappen noted if the two parts of the motion are looked at together, it may eliminate some of the time. Motion carried.
