DJ:SCUSSJ:ON - SHEEHY LAND DONATJ:ON OFFER TO CJ:TY Brian Fritsinger informed the Council that Cindy Severtson, Dan Winkel and himself examined the property. Councilmember Probst also visited the site with staff. At this time staff believes the only possible use for this land would be as park space. Ms. Severtson referred to her memo enclosed with the packet and explained that the tennis court appears to be in need of repair. Previously, the Sheehys described the court area as fairly wet and broken up. This property is by definition a wetland area. Future use of the property is limited, but a floating walkway could possibly be constructed to connect the area to a park trail. councilmember Hicks asked when the tennis court was constructed. Ms. Severtson stated it was constructed in 1974 or 1975. Councilmember Hicks questioned whether the neighbors should be contacted to research if the neighborhood would be willing to preserve the tennis court and perhaps assume the cost to preserve the court. Ms. Severtson stated this could be an option if chosen by the Council.
