. . . Park and Recreation Minutes December 8, 1999 Page 4 9.CA. Discuss Bailey's Point The Commission and staff discussed the recreational potential of the John Bailey property known as "Bailey's Point". Commissioner Dave Anderson stated that he has mentioned to Mr. Bailey that the property would make an excellent park, but he did not feel comfortable discussing with Mr. Bailey any type of acquisition without first obtaining the city's support. Possible acquisition means which were discussed included: right of first refusal for purchase, purchase at a reduced price, or gifting of the property to the city. The Commissioners were in agreement that staff should check with administration for proper procedure in negotiating acquisition of park land. The issue will be discussed at the January Park and Recreation meeting. 9.C.5.
