The <br /> Commission may recall that the original proposal was to sell the City 10 acres of parkland <br /> for $14,500 per acre ($145,000). The new proposal is to sell 10 lh acres of parkland for <br /> $215,000($20,476 per acre). This is an increase of$5,976 per acre(30%). The Commission <br /> might recall that the original proposal was made in December of 2000,almost two years ago. <br /> Is the Commission still interested in purchasing this land at the revised price?
