INTRODUCED: March 25, 2013 BY: Chris Kaufman Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION DATE: MARCH 25, 2013 AGENDA ITEM # M-10 DEPARTMENT: PARKS AND RECREATION STEVEN MEIER, INTERIM DIRECTOR TITLE A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PUEBLO TO ACCEPT THE GIFT OF A PARCEL OF PROPERTY TOTALING APPROXIMATELY .17 ACRES FROM THE LAREDO AT PARKSIDE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION TO THE CITY FOR DRAINAGE AND PUBLIC USES ISSUE Should City Council accept the gift of approximately .17 acres of property from the Laredo at Parkside Homeowners Association located southeast of the intersection of Mirror Avenue and Mirror Court for drainage and public uses? RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Resolution. BACKGROUND In 2012, the Parks and Recreation Department entered into discussions with the homeowners association for the Parkside at Laredo Subdivision to transfer ownership of Parcel R, a drainage and public use parcel to the City of Pueblo. The transfer of the .17 acre area parcel to the City will enable direct public access from the neighborhood to the new playfield area of the park. As part of the recent park construction, the irrigation system from the park was extended to cover the .17 acre area and rock boulders were placed along the edge of the parcel to limit vehicular access into the park. This Resolution approves the acceptance of the property by the City. FINANCIAL IMPACT The City will pay $435 for a title insurance policy for the donated property. In addition, the City will be responsible for the maintenance of the land following acceptance of the donation. The property is immediately adjacent to the open grass area in the southwest corner of Lake Minnequa Park and Open Space and will be maintained as part of the new addition to the park completed in 2012.
