The answer was that it would, so that seems to be an <br /> effective death knell for that improvement at this time. <br /> One piece of information that we uncovered is that the land on which the im- <br /> provement was to be made, which we have for years assumed to be park land, was <br /> purchased in 1914 by the City for a sewer easement. At this point I would <br /> hope that we could establish /agree that its has not been park land. As Bob <br /> and Johnny know, we have recently become aware that mitigation measures are <br /> required (fed. reg.) when land on which park and recreation improvements have <br /> been made with federal funding are reduced in size, or otherwise undergo a <br /> conversion to a non -park and recreation use. Many federal grant dollars have <br /> been spent on this section of park, but not exactly on this 50' "easement." <br /> We need interpretations and records to reflect non -park status; the deed in <br /> hand is a good start. <br />
