110 COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 14, 1987 Mr. Hawkins questioned the last sentence of the text in the proposed Ordinance No. 22 - 87. He noted that title to the park land is acquired by the City when the City accepts and signs the plat. He felt this created extra work. Mr. Bisel was concerned about the situation where a combination of land and cash would be required. Mr. Hawkins said provisions would be written in the developers contracts. He also noted that even though many communities have similar dedication ordinances the state statute states that park dedication must be a reasonable amount. Developers do expect to pay park dedication but he would not be surprised if there is a challenge at some point and time. Mr. Bisel moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 22 - 87 and change the last sentence to read, "the cash payment will be required prior to recording the plat." Mr. Marier seconded the motion. Mrs. Anderson read the proposed ordinance. Mr. Reinert asked what would happen when a developer plats in phases. Mr. Schumacher explained a preliminary plat would be required of the entire area. The Council would then be aware of what is coming and write the developers agreement outlining how the park dedication is to be completed. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously.
