He stated follow-up discussions regarding the 35 acres at Central <br />Park and other community park space was needed. Some Commissioners indicated both <br />parcels were desired. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostmm inquired is a First Right of Refusal would be possible for the 35 <br />acres at Central Park. Mayor Gamec stated that may be a possibility. <br /> <br />Chair Cook asked if it would be possible to get fair market price for the T.H. 47 property <br />and asked if condemnation would be considered. Mayor Gamec stated financing is being <br />considered rather than condemnation. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere stated that if a choice needed to be made, the T.H. 47 property <br />may be a more important site. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Rolfe, and seconded by Commissioner Johns, to recommend <br />City Council proceed with negotiations of both parcels for future park land. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
