i financial assistance to implement the plans. It would be nice to finalize these plans at this meeting and pass a recommendation on to the City Council so that we can concentrate on approval of the Master Park and Recreation Plan later this summer. 6 .

It is imperative that park dedication fees are obtained as the City extends utilities • and develops currently undeveloped property. This is especially important if the City extends utilities to the west and development in this area takes place. The City needs to be careful that our development requirements do not get so restrictive that we discourage development. On the other hand, in order to insure a properly developed
