ITEM 8 Bury Property Acquisition public hearing
Chair Kelly opened the public hearing at 6:18 p.m. for the purpose of re -submitting one grant to the

acquisition of a minimum of 20 acres along the Lake Marion shoreline (3,300 feet) in 2011-2012.
Plans include passive recreational opportunities, 2 or 3 scenic vistas, trails and a picnic shelter. Park
maintenance (minimal) has been included in the plan as well. Total cost of this project is estimated to
be $3-3.5 million. The City has already applied for and received $750,000 from various grants to be

patrolled Ritter Farm Park several times. Hayes volunteered to be at Ritter for a weekend and make
people aware of the ordinances and Peterson volunteered to be at Valley Lake. New dog ordinance
signs have been produced and will be installed in problem areas such as East Community Park. The
back cover of Recreation summer brochure contains an ordinance message and will be delivered to all

violations. Also, Peterson called 911 on an ordinance issue (non -emergency) and the police
responded appropriately within an hour.
