Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 8,2017 Page 7 Mayor Roe noted that threatening types of comments had been made by some coun- cilmembers over the years; and opined that he didn't see Councilmember Etten's comments as a threat, but a caution to those intent to stack the deck and negate development of the 2132 parcel as a potential park. Mayor Roe reminded all that the city had looked at two other properties along with other sites for potential parks as part of the Parks Renewal Program,with none of them working out so far. Mayor Roe noted that these parcels had also been identified for park/open space potential, and this one site had become available. Mayor Roe clarified that this wasn't using up remaining Parks Renewal Program monies, but did allow the process to move forward most rapidly rather than experiencing further long-term delays.
