The Community <br />Involvement Policy was initially intended <br />for use with City-owned land, that's why JPA with the <br />School District is necessary. <br />MOTION BY VAN HATTEN, SECONDED BY SEWARD, TO ADOPT <br />THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT POLICY STRIKING THE LAST <br />SENTENCE. MOTION CARRIED. <br />B. Harstad/St. Mary's Development <br />Anderson said that the City owns about 4 1/2 acres in <br />the area. A few years ago the City received a petition <br />from the residents in the area to keep that as open <br />space. The Council did not want to commit to public <br />park land at the time.
