Mr. Nissen seconded the motion. UPDATES ON RECENT ISSUES Park Property on the East Side - Each member had received a copy of a letter which was sent to several landowners on the east side of the City , at the Park Board' s request . The letter introduced the fact that the City was interested in acquiring land on the east side for park purposes. The Park Board had requested that the staff send such a letter to a few people whose property they found prime during their recent tour of the City. The letter was also sent to several others to help get an idea of other possible sites. Mr. Schumacher showed a map which indicated which parcel re- ceived letters. To date, there has only been one response. This item will appear on next month' s agenda. VFW Donations - At last month' s meeting, staff was asked to provide a list of the cash donations made by the VFW in 1985. That list totaled $2 ,400 through October. The Board felt that action should be taken to designate specific projects to be completed with this money and the VFW should receive recognition for their contribution. Later in the meeting this action was taken (see "Park Signs") . Sunset Oaks Park Dedication - Mr. Schumacher reported that the City Council approved the agreement mutually conceived by the Park Board and Tilsen Properties whereby the City will receive Lots 13, 14 and 15 of Block 2 Sunset Oaks and $3,000 cash for park development . Mr. Schumacher has delegated the responsibility for making sure the proper paperwork is completed to Mr. Hawkins, the City Attorney. Mr. Schumacher will period- ically check the status so that this issue does not drag out any longer. Tax Forfeit Property - A couple months ago the Board was informed that the City could receive some tax forfeit property. City staff took necessary action to obtain the land. To date, the City has not received a response or transfer of the land. This item will appear on next month' s agenda for an update.
