Mr. Tralle stated he believed the developer s hould pay the full park dedication fee. Mr. Grochala stated this would be an issu e for the City Attorney to look at. Vice Chair Rafferty asked what did the devel oper want the park dedication figure to be. Mr. Uhde stated they were at the Park Bo ard on Monday and they had been directed by the Board for the past year to dedicate la nd and not cash. He stated up until a few days ago, they had not decided which land to dedica te. He indicated they had not seen what the City was requiring until a c ouple of days ago. He noted the dedication should be a percentage, considering they were donating land. Vice Chair Rafferty indicated that $103,821 was a small part of this whole development, and he did not see why they c ould not come to an agreement on this and get it resolved. Mr. Uhde indicated if they could not come to an agreement with the City, by State Statute, they could escrow the money and ta ke it to arbitration. He noted he did not believe this would go as far as a Court proceeding.
