Parkland Dedication Fees - Item #20
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2021 8:55 pm
Colleagues,
Like most of you, my team and I have spent many hours working through the parkland dedication issue over the past several days. The issue is complicated, and our decision on Item #20 will have far-reaching implications that have not yet been fully vetted.
Because we did not have the opportunity to discuss this topic in a work session, I would like to propose we postpone Item #20 for two weeks to the Nov. 4 Council Meeting.
It is unfortunate that any change to these fees could mean either less park space or less housing, and both are desperately needed right now. I believe a postponement would allow us to have robust discussions with stakeholders on all sides in order to come to a reasonable solution for everyone.
Thank you for your consideration,
Paige Ellis
