(•IS) DESIGNATED USE OF CRYSTAL BAY SITE Moorse stated the general consensus by the Council with regard to the use of the Crystal Bay site has been to leave the area as open space/park land and start some process with the Park Commission and neighbors to determine future use. He suggested the Council take formal action to give staff direction on this issue. Butler feit the resolve of the use of this site is based on the need to balance the budget for the new facilities. Callahan stated Council passed a resolution not long ago directing staff to prepare a budget and prepare to remove the existing buildings and turn the land into greensward. The budget for the new facilities had an off-setting revenue source from both the Crystal Bay site and the Sewer pond site. He felt the economic situation may not warrant the sale of either parcel at present. He felt they should proceed as former Council action directed. He said to make further commitment. Council needs to see the final budget for the new faciIities. Moorse indicated that within the budget for the new facilities, $35,000 of revenue from the saie of the Crystal Bay site has been listed, with an off-setting amount of $35,000 to raze the existing buildings. He noted the State Petro fund will pay a major portion of the tank removal, and the City’s Insurance with the League of Cities will pay the remainder of the cost. Callahan noted it is felt by some that the subdivision of the sewer pond site will be quite costly, and therefore has not been pursued.
