encouraged Council to think about future families who might see the need for parks and asked Council to find another way to fund the bypass road. Jerry Wagner, 6344 Alisal Street, spoke in opposition to staff's recommendations. Kevln Close, 871 gyeamore Road, commended Council for trying to secure funds to fund the bypass road but did not agree with the proposed recommendations. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Campell asked Ms. McKeehan what the likelihood would be of reimbursing the In Lieu Park Dedication Fee fund the $2.8 million dollars. Ms. McKeehan noted that once money is transferred out of the fund for In Lieu Park Dedication Fees, it would not be transferred back unless at some point, Council chose to take other General Fund money and transfer it into the fund for In Lieu Park Dedication Fees. Again, she reminded Council that land for parks that it had discussed purchasing was not for neighborhood parks, it was for community parks. When In Lieu Park Dedication funds are used, the funds can only be used in a particular neighborhood where a neighborhood park is being proposed, or for a community park. Staff anticipates that neighborhood parks will be dedicated, and all that will be lef~ will be the need for community parks. Mr. Brozosky pointed out that in the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan there is no neighborhood park. He believed the community park would be the neighborhood park. Ms. McKeehan pointed out that the difference with the Vineyard Corridor is not the issue of having enough funds to purchase land; the issue is that the City may not want to buy that land for a long time. Ms. Ayala acknowledged Mr. Brozosky's comments related to the General Plan. She proposed that Council wait until it gets through the General Plan process to see what needs to be funded for parks before money is removed from one fund. If action was not taken tonight, Mr. Brozosky asked Ms. Ayala if she believed another source should be found to fund the bypass road. Ms. Ayala indicated that she did not direct staffto consider the potential of using In Lieu Park Dedication Fees as a means to fund the bypass road. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to direct staff to f'md other sources for funding within the $500,000 to $1 million dollar range, the bypass road and wait until the General Plan process was completed to determine park needs are In the community before money is transferred from the In Lieu Park Dedication Fees fund.
