DISCUSSION AND ACTION ON POCKET PARK IN GEORGIAN PLACE SUBDIVISION Ty Cunningham, developer of Georgian Place, discussed with the board the possibility of converting a tot lot into parkland dedication fees. The tot lot was donated as part of the requirements of the parkland dedication process. The parkland dedication requirements for this subdivision were 0.93 acres. Ty has dedicated a 10 acre park and the tot lot (6,000 sq. ft.). Ty is now proposing to give cash in lieu of the tot lot. He would like this cash to be used to help develop the 10 acre park that he donated to the City. Staff said that if he made the donation, the $10,000 would go into that particular parkland dedication zone to be used for parks in that zone. It was then suggested that his contractors build and construct $10,000 worth of materials and labor toward the 10 acre park. Ty would then come back to the parks and recreation board for approval of how the $10,000 worth of materials and labor would be used. John Philpott made a motion to accept the $10,000 in kind donation of labor and materials with the stipulation that the parks and recreation board have final approval of what the $10,000 in kind donation encompasses. Jim seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. VI.
