Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Enhance the Quality of Life in McKinney
Direction for Strategic & Economic Growth
MEETING DATE: December 19, 2017
DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation
CONTACT: Michael Kowski, AICP, CUD, Director of Parks and Recreation
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
• Approve the Resolution.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• The Comegys family has offered to donate a 4.072 acre tract of land located on the east side of US 75, immediately north of City owned land near the Community Center.
• These 4 acres have always functioned as City property. The existing park road that leads to the community center runs through this piece of property as well as a hike and bike trail that leads to Towne Lake.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• This is a donation/dedication and no funds will be expended on the acquisition of the land other than typical closing costs.
• No additional maintenance funds will be needed with this acquisition as the Parks Department has always mowed and maintained the property.
PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE BOARD
• On December 14, 2017 the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Advisory Board unanimously recommended that Council authorize the City Manager to execute the donation contract.
