Park Board Meeting - August 4, 2003 Minutes • Acting Chair Taschuk stated she is satisfied with 100% park credit. Bill stated he believes that with any park there is a value to the developer. He indicated he does not believe that 50% or 100% credit should be given. He believes the figure is somewhere in between those numbers. • • Katie stated she is not comfortable with 100% credit. Mr. Johnson stated there is a significant range of what credit should be given. He stated that the Park Board believes some credit should be given but is not sure how much. He suggested the amount of credit given should be left up to staff and the City Council. He stated it is very difficult to combine both land and cash dedications. Bill Kusterman made a motion, seconded by Katie Boyle, to recommend some park dedication credit be given to the developer to be determined by the City Council. Paul stated he believes the Park Board is not doing their job. The Park Board should come up with a figure to recommend to the City Council. Acting Chair Taschuk stated her concern is that this is new territory for the Park Board. The ordinances needs clarity and should be discussed further. Motion passed with Paul Montain voting no. Acting Chair Taschuk requested the land /cash dedication requirements within the new Park Ordinance be discussed at a future Park Board meeting. OPEN MIKE No one was present for open mike.
