Scalze described the property and <br />PARK STR. reported that the Park Commission has recommended that <br />the City pick up the property at this time. The Park <br />Commission feels that the property would have some <br />value as wetland. However, if development occurs to <br />the west, then the City could purchase the property <br />from the County for resale as residential lots. Scalze <br />reported that there are pending assessments of <br />approximately $15,000 on the property. If the City <br />acquires the property, these assessments would have to <br />be paid, and the Council will have to determine where <br />the funds will come from. <br />The City Attorney pointed out that if the City wishes a <br />marketable title for the property, it will have to pay <br />the County the appraised value of the property as <br />determined by the County. Otherwise, the title the <br />City would receive would be restricted. <br />Fahey stated that he would rather see the County sell <br />the property and have it developed. Fahey pointed out <br />that the property will then qenerate some tax revenue <br />for the City. Fahey stated that he did not want to see <br />additional land off the tax roll. <br />Page 32 <br />
