Councilman Feehan felt this should be part of the recreational needs assessment. The Caltrans lot may be better as a playfield than a skate park. The Council needs to know the main needs of the community. A Prop A expenditure for a bus would have to be approved by MTA Staff will continue trying to get lease information from Caltrans. A portion of the property tax is earmarked for purchasing property.
Staff needs to have direction and priorities.
Mayor Pro Tem Spence suggested imposing a developer fee for recreation purposes. The Planning Commission can review the Quimby Act provisions. Mrs. Pryor noted that several taxing mechanisms are available for purchasing property if the Council so desires. Funds must be spent on low and moderate income census tracts. Council approved the distribution in January.
