Another funding source for this program may be a fee collected along with the building permit. Park Land Acquisition. Mr. Volk noted a problem is obtaining good park land from developers. He noted that the money in lieu of land ($400.00 per dwelling) should be increased to discourage developers from demanding that their dedication be money in lieu of land. Mr. Volk noted that some cities are charging up to $1,200.00 per dwelling. He noted the negotiations that are currently under way regarding Dennis Erickson. There has been considerable discussion regarding the need for a southside community park. The Apitz property has been discussed as a possible location. Bituminous Trails. Mr. Volk explained that currently developers must construct the trails and bring them to a gravel base condition before the City will accept dedication. He suggested establishing a separate account that would accumulate funds from developers for the maintenance of the trails. Mayor Bisel suggested that the City consider a policy that says when a certain number of homes are constructed in a subdivision, a certain acreage of parkland must be developed. Sign at City Hall. Mr. Volk said that he feels the identification sign at city hall should be changeable. A programmable sign would be the most convenient. Mr. Schumacher explained that the Centennial Fire District Steering Committee has hired a consultant to go through the process of hiring a new fire chief. The consultant would like to talk to the Council to determine what type of a person the Council is interested in hiring. The consultant will be here May 2, 1990 from 3:30 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. and also all day on Friday May 4, 1990.
