If any <br />Park Board Members have not yet reviewed the proposals, I encourage you to do so prior to <br />leaving this evening. <br />Color selection for the playground equipment will be made on Wednesday, January 9 at 6pm, at <br />City Hall. Residents and Park Board Members are encouraged to attend. <br />Staff will be presenting a recommendation to the City Council at the January 14 Council <br />Meeting. It is anticipated to install the playground equipment in April -May. <br />Birch Park Trail Update <br />On December 19, 2001 the City Attorney received a proposal from the Whitcomb's attorney for <br />the city to acquire the trail easement for $6,000. The Whitcomb's have indicated that they have <br />been approached to sell their land for $15,000 per acre. They declined because of tax <br />implications. <br />If the city accepts this proposal to obtain a trail easement, the city can get the land dedication <br />when development occurs through the park dedication process. <br />The city attorney and staff concurs that the proposed agreement is acceptable. This item will be <br />discussed at an upcoming City Council Work Session. I will be happy to forward any comments <br />the Park Board may have. <br />sw /parkbrd/Meeting Information /Clearwater Creek Playground Review and Birch Park Trail Update.doc <br />
