The commission reviewed an assessment of underutilized mini parks to determine the feasibility of monetization, transfer, or repurposing, reaching a consensus that selling parks should be a last resort. Preferred alternatives discussed included corporate sponsorship, neighbor maintenance agreements, or transfer to a land trust. Staff were tasked with further research, including title searches and checking for alternative municipal uses. Additionally, the commission discussed the design progress and environmental status of the Dennings/Fairbanks property, including a potential sale of the building to the current tenant to fund the capital project.
