86 <br /> Oral Communications (continued) <br /> In response to request of Mayor Weymouth, City <br /> Clerk Hildebrand read letters from the following <br /> children: Rosalie Bagnardi, Billy and Bobby <br /> Anderson, Brian Reed, and Shafath Syed, all asking <br /> that a park be developed in the Canyon Road neigh- <br /> borhood. <br /> Mr. Anderson asked that the Council consider a change <br /> of park development priorities rather than a tax in- <br /> crease to pay for development of the requested park. <br /> Council members and City Manager Fales explained to <br /> Mr. Anderson that no funds are allocated and none <br /> exist in the current City budget for park acquisi- <br /> tion and development, so that there is no question <br /> of changing any park priorities. Attention was <br /> called to the four all-day budget sessions resulting <br /> in many cuts, including $200,000 budgeted for the <br /> Community Center completion. <br /> Mr. Anderson suggested that some of the proposed <br /> park property belongs to the City and could be kept <br /> from being developed for housing and used instead <br /> as a small park. City Attorney Schricker advised <br /> that the City-owned lots are on a slope above the <br /> area where it is requested a park and open space <br /> be developed. <br /> Comment was also made that other neighborhoods in <br /> the City are competing in asking for development of <br /> parks in present open space and have also requested <br /> adjustment of priorities so that their areas could <br /> be served first. Regret was expressed that funds <br /> are not available to meet some of the demands for <br /> parks by various neighborhoods. <br /> Executive Session <br /> MOTION : Councilman Henderson moved, seconded by Council- <br /> man Leipzig, to adjourn to executive session 'for the <br /> purpose of discussing pending litigation. <br /> The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. <br /> Mayor Weymouth announced that Council will reconvene <br /> solely for the purpose of adjourning to an executive <br /> session to be held at 3 :45 p.m. , Thursday, July 24, 1975 <br /> in the City Manager' s office.
