“Thank you. Let's see. So I just actually had a question right away just about a little bit more detail about waterways and parks and the history of discussions at that level. Waterways, Parks, and Urban Forestry Commission, I believe, discussed this in March. Do you think you could talk about what that discussion was like?”

“Just to clarify, too, I believe there is an access point from Riverview Drive on the north end for the city and for public access. So that parcel there currently has an access point that is used both for utility purposes but also for recreation. And presumably, that access would be maintained even if we sold the land. Is that correct? There would still be a north entrance.”

“Any other questions from the council? I just have one kind of clarifying question about the timeline. Since there was a recommendation from plan commission to have these two um parcels like go in front of waterways parks and urban forestry commission that would presumably be able to happen in at the end of august here and then this could come back as soon as the first meeting in september um or you know yes first meeting september because they'd go back to plan commission their first meeting so i'll say also go back to plan commission okay okay um”

“So I guess for tomorrow's meeting, it'd be good to have that whole timeline figured out as an option. OK, definitely want to open this up to the public. Appreciate everybody's patience. We have two people that have signed up, and then I'll open it up to folks that maybe didn't get a chance to sign up or decided to speak. So first on our list for the public discussion is Mary McManus.”

“Let's see, do we have anyone else who'd like to speak to this agenda item on excess land? So I exhausted the list of people that signed up. All right. So we're going to close agenda item number three. And that's the last of our public discussions. But we do have a public comment period.
