MOTION: Commissioner Bryson MOVED to retain the property for public purpose and Commissioner Fullinck SECONDED the motion. A.~ Kebschull reported the following: • An offer was received by the city for the purchase of this property. • The Parks 8s Recreation Commission recommended the parcel be retained for public use due to its proximity to the beach, indicating potential City uses for the property could be a museum, overflow parking for the dip net fishery, a future park, etc. • City Council would also like a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Discussion followed and comments included: • Concurrence with the recommendation of Parks 8v Recreation Commission. • Sell the property because: It is a beautiful lot with nice views and it would be a waste to use it for overflow parking and there are already several parks in Kenai; the location is next to the Care Center/Women's Resource Center, and their confidentiality could be jeopardized. • It should be retained for public use because of its location and current parking problems in the area. Kebschull also noted an appraisal will be done if the property is released for sale; if it is released then it would go out to bid; the person making the offer will have the opportunity to exceed the highest bidder; the City use of the property should not be limited to overflow parking; the property may be appropriate for a new library; and, the adjacent property owner accesses his property by an access trail through the city's parcel.
