• Park Board Meeting — November 2, 2009 Minutes Rick told members that the City Charter language regarding sale of property is as follows: Section 12.05. Sale of Real Property. No real property of the City shall be disposed of except by ordinance. The proceeds of any sale of such property shall be used as far as possible to retire any outstanding indebtedness incurred by the city in the purchase, construction or improvement of this or other property used for the same public purpose. If there is no such outstanding indebtedness, the Council may by resolution designate some other public use for the proceeds. He said staff is typically cautious recommending the sale of parkland. However, in this particular situation, Outlot B was not part of the City's plan for this neighborhood park. Rather, it was a result of the developer deeding Outlot B to the City after the original intent (selling it to the adjacent property owner) didn't materialize. Selling the easternmost 6' of Outlot B will have no effect on the functionality of this park. Attachment B showing the master plan of Highland Meadows Park was also included in the packets. The Judd's were present and told the Park Board their intent for the property and answered questions. The Judd's proposed that the City sell Outlot B for $4,000. The City would cover all fees and keep the rest. After further discussion Bill Kusterman made a motion to sell a 10x145' strip of land to the Judd's at a price of $2,000 plus $1,000 for administrative costs. The motion was seconded by Charles Evans and approved. NEW BUSINESS: 6A. Determine 2009/2010 Skating Rink Locations and Hours Rick reviewed the memo that was in the members packets. Rick said the warming houses would have the same hours as last year. Mr. DeGardner responded to questions asked by Park Board Members about posting hours at the rinks and using volunteers instead of paid staff. He said the hours are posted at the rinks and volunteers are not as dependable as paid staff. He went on to say that in the past an organization has helped with cleaning and flooding. Brian is waiting to hear from them to see if they are interested in helping out again this year. 6b.
