67 <br /> Written Communications (continued) <br /> Gerald Walter, 519 Leahy Street, one of the circu- <br /> lators of the subject petition, described the present <br /> undesirable condition of the property in question, <br /> and urged the City to acquire it as open space . Mr. <br /> Walter stated he was familiar with the objections of <br /> certain residents to improvements to Stulsaft Park <br /> and Stafford Park, and suggested that funds budgeted <br /> for improvements to those parks be used to acquire <br /> and improve the subject property in a neighborhood <br /> where it is desired. <br /> Mayor Weymouth explained that no funds were included <br /> in the 1975-1976 Annual Budget for improvement of <br /> the abovementioned parks, and observed that, in <br /> addition, funds recommended for improvement to the <br /> Community Park were deleted because of Council de- <br /> sire to cut the Budget as much as possible . <br /> Discussion followed and comment was made concerning <br /> the City' s lack of funds for many desirable projects <br /> and previously established priorities with regard <br /> to parks and open space . <br /> There being no objection, Mayor Weymouth ordered the <br /> petition referred without prejudice to the Park and <br /> Recreation Commission for their consideration. <br /> (Memo 7/8/75) <br /> I 3.
