SCHEDULE SPECIAL JOINT WORK SESSION MEETINGS WITH PLANNING
COMMISSION
Mr. Boganey stated this proposed work session is to review the comp plan and get the City
Councils feedback.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the dates provided worked for all of them.
05/14/18 -1-
Mayor Willson requested the City Council receive a copy of the comp plan prior to the July 9,
2018 meeting to review. Mr. Boganey stated he will get them all a copy.
PARK DEDICATION FEES
Mr. Boganey invited Community Development Director Meg Beekman forward to introduce this
item.
Ms. Beekman stated this is a Citywide fund and noted the fee can be used for new parks or trails
when new developers come into the City. She stated the opportunity site is one of the reasons she
is suggesting they look into this because that developer is looking to put some sort of park on
that site and this will be a park that they could then quantify and use as a comparable.
Mayor Willson stated he is concerned that the money it could generate based on the little amount
of land they have for parks, would leave a good amount remaining that others such as the
developer would have to pay.
Councilmember Graves stated she agrees with Mayor Willson and would be concerned that the
fees may trickle down and residents would somehow end up paying for it and in places where the
development is market rate the parks may be much less grand then those of other sites that are
developed at higher rates.
Councilmember Ryan stated he would like to see more information on this issue especially
because they have the Eastbrook Estates and opportunity sites to possibly build parks on.
Councilmember Butler stated she would like to see more information before making a decision
as well.
Mayor Willson stated there is a clear consensus to move forward and get more information with
this per then staff recommendations.
