TO: Chairperson Grahek& Committee Members <br /> FROM: Staff <br /> SUBJECT: Park Dedication Fees—Platting of 7087—201h Avenue South (Alex's Lawn/Turf) <br /> Joint (Council/Committee/Commission)Work Session- P& R Budget Presentation) <br /> DATE: January 29, 2015 <br /> There have been questions regarding park dedication fees for the platting of city owned property <br /> located at 7087 — 20th Avenue South. The proceeds from all city owned property were earmarked for <br /> the refinancing of a bond and bond payments by Council. Dallas was under the impression that because <br /> our requirements within our ordinance all commercial/industrial properties that are platted, the <br /> developer/landowner pay park dedication fees. In this situation, Staff has secured the opinion of Legal <br /> Counsel who has stated that the city does not have to pay itself these fees. Staff also believes that it <br /> would be best to put this item before Council for their direction. Staff will keep you informed of their <br /> decision. <br /> At last evening's Council meeting they scheduled budget work session(s)and they will be taking place on <br /> February 11, 2015—Council only and February 25, 2015-Joint work session. The work sessions will take <br /> place following their regularly scheduled meetings, it is anticipated that it will be a short Council <br /> meeting so the Joint work session will take place approximately at 7:00 p.m. <br /> Parks & Recreation Committee Liaison King has informed Council that the Committee desires to be <br /> informed of their funding allotment in anticipation that this will assist in prioritizing Park Improvement <br /> Projects for the upcoming years. Staff will immediately forward to you this information once Council <br /> makes this decision. <br />
