Commentary
Approximately six months ago, the aty acquired several parcels of land located on New York Street
adjacent to the Municipal Golf Course. The property was acquired with Airport funds as part of our
overall effort W probed the Airport from noise problems. Since acquisition, the Coundd has had
several discussions on potential uses of this property with two primary atematives under
consideration: maintaining City ownership for use in a potential future expansion of the golf course
or selling the property far possible housing development. The City has also received an expression
of interest from a possible developer of this property.
At the last Strategic Issues Committee meeting, this Item was once again discussed. While the
Committee made no formal recommendation, it did request that an order authorizing issuance of an
RFP for potential development of this property for residential use be placed on the agenda. At the
same time, add coral Information was requested regarding the potential value of the property for
golf course purposes, including course expansion. Staff is in the process of gathering this
information and will make it avallable to the Council in advance of Wednesdays meeting.
