The report outlined three methods, as follows, for purchasing park sites from the Cypress School District: 1) seek a tax override, 2) a general obligation bond issue, and 3) cut back existing programs and guarantee repayment from current revenues. It was the consensus of the City Council that, of the three park sites being considered for purchase, the Orange and Moody site was the most critical. Mr. William Calton, Superintendent of the Cypress School District, and Mr. Paul Butler of the Cypress School District, were present and joined the discussion° Discussion ensued .on purchasing the Orange and Moody park site with the 1972 revenue sharing funds and a portion of the 1973 revenue sharing funds. Councilwoman Frankiewich stated that although her original motion at the City Council meeting of November 6, 1972, included a provision that 1972 revenue sharing funds be used for development of park sites, she would now move to reallocate our present revenue sharing funds to an agreement to purchase the Moody and Orange park site and to apply the continuing revenue sharing funds for 1973, as needed, to complete said purchase~ Councilman Roberrs recapped the problem of school districts throughout the state being forced Co divest themselves of property which is not being used. Whether or not the City Council takes action at this time, the Cypress School District will have to sell. the park site at Orange and Moody° Re further stated that while he feels, as a basic philosophy, that the revenue sharing funds should be used for park development, it seems clear that it is now or never because the Cypress School District is going to sell the land. Councilman Roberrs seconded the motion after amending it to read, "Reallocate the first year's revenue sharing funds to an agreement to purchase the Moody and Orange park site and to apply the continuing revenue sharing funds for 1973~ as needed, to complete said purchase~" Councilman Roberrs also requested that the minutes show a capsule summary of his and Councilwoman Frankiewich's discussion on this matter. Councilwoman Fz'ankiewxch mcdified her motion by adding tD it the following sentence: "The remainder of the 1973 revenue sharing funds that are not used in this particular purchase are to be used for development of other park sites."
