Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 7 <br />August 14, 2024 <br /> <br /> <br />Chair Anderson explained that the Friends of the Mississippi have put almost a million dollars into <br />the William H. Houlton Conservation Area. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson and Commissioner Niziolek explained how these organizations assist with acquiring <br />land via grants and funding other than park dedication. Commissioner Stewart shared that the <br />developer gets fair market value for the property from the organizations, the city gets money instead <br />of park land, and then the organizations help with the maintenance of the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Bono said he is interested in working with the commission and appreciates the feedback. <br /> <br /> <br />12.
