Submi t ted By I
City Manager
Statement of the Matter
The City Council has heretofore approved an Open Space Grant application
to expand Holiday Park into a Community Park and future Recreation
' Center site. The H.U.D. Area Office has recently denied the grant re-
quest. Although there is a possibility of funding through use of dis-
cretionary funds in Washington, our current understanding is that the
18-month moratorium imposed by the President applies to Open Space
Grants.

Staff Recommendations
. AB NO. Date: Feb. 14, 1973
City Manager's Recommendation
actual R-3 Zoning, expansion of Holiday Park without Federal assistance is, in my opinion, excessively expensive. While individual City Council members seem to be of like opinion, the City Council has made no Formal Finding. My recommendations are as follows:
1) Find that the project is not feasible without Federal assistance and
a Because of the cost of this property, which has potential and some
that due to the likelihood such assistance will not be forthcoming, the project will be terminated.
2) Instruct the staff to plan future development of Holiday Park as a Neighborhood Park.
3) Instruct the staff to work with the Parks and Recreation Commission and General Plan Consultants to develop a1 ternate Recreation Center sites for City Council consideration.
In connection with Item 3) above disposition of the Greenwood property should be considered. It is suggested that this be discussed during our March Capital Improvements meeting.
Council Action
2-20-73 The Counci 1 approved the recommendations presented by the City Manager, with the deletion of "General Plan Consultants" under recommendation #3. It was agreed that the Consultants be notified as to the termination of their contract, due to the Federal Grant being denied, and that the property owners in the Holiday Park area be placed on notice that the City does not plan to take their property for park purposes at this time1

As to your question of the types of applications that were approved, it can be said that most of the approved applications were proposals to acquire and/or develop open space or other land for park and re-
creational purposes. Also most of the approved applications had the
