The financial records of the City will be updated to reflect this dedication of property as parkland based upon the Capital Assets Policy contained within the Financial Management Policy Statements. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6. A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
