<br />Commissioner Newby proposed suggesting taking the cash in lieu of land in the amount of <br />$16,000 to the City Council. Commissioner Hoag seconded. Vote was 6-2 with Gelbach, <br />Hoag, Newby, O’Brien, Stoner and Warzecha voting in favor and Heikkila and Baggenstoss <br />voting nay; motion passed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stoner requested a list of options that could be supported by Parks and <br />Recreation in conjunction with Hand in Hand Montessori School on the anticipated green <br />space located at 211 McCarron’s Blvd. North. Staff responded that a modified soccer field, a <br />tee-ball diamond or a play lot could potentially be a viable use of the open space. However, it <br />would be the city’s practice to involve the community in those decisions. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stoner proposed a motion that the Commission recommend to City Council <br />that City Council explore the possibility of a cooperative agreement with Hand in Hand <br />school regarding the use of some of the open space, similar to the one the City currently has <br />with Concordia Academy School in lieu of Park Dedication. Vice-Chair Baggenstoss <br />seconded. <br /> <br />A lengthy discussion followed, with Commissioner Stoner supporting the idea that the <br />possibility of a creative cooperative agreement between the City and Hand in Hand be kept <br />open. Another concern expressed by Commissioner Stoner was the relatively low amount of <br />money that would come if choosing cash for Park Dedication. Commissioner Baggenstoss <br />voiced support of protecting the green space on the property. Another concern expressed by <br />Commissioner Stoner was the relatively low amount of money that would come if choosing <br />cash for Park Dedication. Commissioners Hoag and Warzecha voiced concerns regarding the <br />fact that this sector of Roseville does not have a need for more park land or athletic fields, <br />and the money from this Park Dedication could better be used in other sectors with less park <br />and open space. <br /> <br />Vote was 4-4 with Baggenstoss, Gelbach, Heikkila, and Stoner voting in favor of the motion, <br />and Hoag, Newby, O’Brien, and Warzecha voting nay; motion failed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
