Four members had turned in requests for absence - Glenn Schroeder, Kathleen Ireland,
Carol Blaschke, and Harry Green.
3. Site visit, discussion, and possible action regarding potential Park Land
Dedication request for the Fojtik Subdivision ' Park Zone 4 (North Forest
Drive Discussion took place regarding the proposed dedication. The subject was
raised about the size of the dedication from a maintenance standpoint. Staff stated
that if the land dedication was not accepted, there would be areas in the city that were
underserved as far as parks were concerned, which would also mean that there would
be small parks that would be over-utilized. As far as maintenance was concerned, size
was not really an issue. If the dedication (park) was larger then it would require more
maintenance.
