Mr. Dennis Shudy - Request to Durchase City Owned Property - Cedar Street <br />Park <br /> <br />Mr. Shudy presented his request to purchase Cedar Street Park, a city-owned property. <br />He stated this piece of property had not generated any income for the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra noted this was reserved for a park and it would revert back to the <br />county if not used as a park. Mr. Palzer replied this was tax forfeited land to be used as a <br />park and if the City did not use it as a park, the City would need to purchase the land and <br />then it would be free and clear to sell to Mr. Shudy. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers asked if the City did not want to purchase the <br />property, could they "undeed" it. The City Attorney replied there was a restriction on the <br />property and he would not recommend the City turn the property back to the County. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers stated she did not see the benefit of a park in this <br />area and she would have no objection to selling it. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />
