Parks Department: Land Acquisitions and Eminent Domain Authorization-- Memo and map distributed. Manager noted the actions for Council today would be to: 1) Authorize executing an option for purchasing the property (Parcels 5 and 6); and 2) Authorize acquisition by power of eminent domain for 12 other parcels. He said this action will result in City-controlled property, with the exception of one parcel, along the Willamette Greenway, between the Ferry Street Bridge and Beltline Road. The estimated total cost would be $423,000; 50 percent paid by the Bureau of Recreation money, 25 percent by State, and 25 percent by the City. He said the acquisi- tions had been approved by the Greenway Agency. If there was a need to discuss any individual parcels, Manager noted that would have to take place in Executive Session. Mr. Obie wondered if the recent serial levy passed by the voters had indicated the money was to be used for this purchase. Ed Smith, Parks Director, said the serial levy funds specifically stated they would e be used to purchase river front property. Funds from the 1971 bond issue specified acquisitions in this area also. Mr. Obie wondered how much money was to be spent from each. Mr. Smith replied of the $105,000 total, $67,000 would come from the bond issue, and the remainder from the serial levy monies.
