sell it. It would be up to whomever purchases the property to maintain it and manage its <br />use. <br />Vacate the property: <br />There is a process by which the City can abandon its interest in the property. This would <br />involve noticing all parties involved and holding a public hearing. The property may go <br />through the tax forfeiture process and may at some time be picked up by the original owner <br />or some other private owner. The City would no longer maintain or monitor the property. <br />It would likely still be used by the public during the process. The property would become <br />an unmanaged property. Due to this, staff recommends against vacating the property. <br />Make significant changes to the property: <br />The City could make significant changes to the property in an effort to prevent issues on <br />the property. This could include clear cutting all of the mature trees or using the property <br />for stormwater ponding. The property would continue to be available for public use or <br />development of some other neighborhood park use. <br />5. RECOMMENDATION: <br />At their meeting of August 10, 2016, the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission <br />recommended to continue to look into selling the property and to schedule a neighborhood <br />meeting to discuss the options with residents. <br />Staff recommends that the Council provide input on the options for the property. Staff also <br />recommends that the neighborhood be involved in deciding what should happen with the <br />property in the future. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1. 2014 Aerial of the Property <br />2. 2013 Aerial of the Property <br />3.
