Acquisition, Sub-section 2.1 " " This section discussed that the local share costs of the City of New 'Brighton will cqnstitute the acquis~tion cost of the Long Lake Park land as funded by a Metropolitan Council Acquisition Grant. Nowhere in the documents is this quoted term defined in d()llar amount or as a formula to derive the dollar amount.' It is our position that .the value cH tue , lnad to. the New Briti,hton tax payers is the ap'precia ted value ' determinable in a current"cortd~mnation procedure. Costs to the! County sllDuld be that value less New' Brigh ton 's propor'. tionate share. Said sum would be a fair and ,reasonable return to the New Brighton taxpayer. We 'suggest further that the representee purpose of the initial bonding referendum is .:r.eferenced to determine what method of property sale if any .Was contemplated at the ti~e. A solution of course w~uld be to put this 'to a vo~ of the, New Brighton residents this' fall. Acquisi tion,. Sub-section 2.3 Again'we disagree t.hat the sale contingency to the 1and convkyance is reimbursement to the city of its "local share cost'.
