Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos reviewed the park dedication fee schedule. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly questioned how much park dedication was received from the senior <br />housing project that is being constructed. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that he was not sure in that it was a city sponsored project <br />but would check to see if any park dedication was received. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly questioned the amount of the trail fee. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated $150 per household noting that none of the funds have <br />been used on any projects as of yet and that the trail fee does not apply to commercial properties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connelly stated that using park dedication money only in the district that the <br />money was received does not give the City much flexibility with the funds. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe stated that when park dedication from a development is used in another area <br />of the City there is the opportunity for lawsuits to come about. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained that there is flexibility within the recreation districting <br />concept, stating that the City used funds from all districts to pay for Community Park #5 since it <br />was going to be a benefit to the community. He stated that he will research any legal <br />implications and update the C.I.P. and bring it back to the September meeting. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Cook, seconded by Commissioner Asfahl, to request staff modify the <br />C.I.P. draft to reflect the discussion and the recommendations made by the Finance Officer. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
