The City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated staff will need some time to analyze Charter Section 22-12; staff will need a few weeks to provide the confidential memo. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft expressed support for remaining cognizant of Greenway Golf's timeline and ensuring the City is causing unnecessary delay. Councilmember Knox White stated that he is surprised to find out that Council would need to vote in order to de-classify how the City views the parcel; it is odd to suggest that whether or not parkland is public land is not disclosable; it is valid to discuss disposal, strategies and negotiations in closed session; however, he expects to be open with the people that own the land on the zoning. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated there may be other considerations for disclosing the information by a confidential memo. The City Attorney stated staff can prepare a short analysis for Council related to Charter section 22-12 and the proposed property; he will defer to the Recreation and Parks Director on when the entire matter can return to Council for discussion.
