Summary

 

COUNCIL GOAL:                     Enhance the Quality of Life in McKinney

                                                               Direction for Strategic & Economic Growth

 

MEETING DATE:                     December 14, 2017

 

DEPARTMENT:                      Parks and Recreation

 

CONTACT:                       Michael Kowski, Director of Parks and Recreation

                     

RECOMMENDED ACTION:                     

•                     Approve the Recommendation to City Council.

 

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.
