Possible purchase of Kester open-space parcel near boat harbor
Discussed
City Administrator David Bunker said Joel Kester, a partner in the company owning a 4.2-acre parcel north of the boat harbor on the east side of 100 West, has discussed selling it; an appraisal is weeks away, a nearby industrial parcel appraised at $3.10 a square foot, and Kester suggested part could be donated. Bunker noted Kester knows Council Member Shelton. Part of the land is wet. Shelton supported buying it for trails and as wetland mitigation that could free up Mountain Meadows Park; Christiansen agreed; Barnes asked that price talks go to a closed session and that the Parks and Trails Committee weigh in. Consensus: pursue negotiations.
