It was pointed out that the City now owns 1.6 acres which -was dedicated on the subdivision Map, and that it has been planned tai exchange this parcel for a site of the same size now: belonging:t.o the School District and purchase two acres !adjoining it from_Ir. Piers to that a larger park site could be de- veloped.' The City:::Manager reported that he had discussed the matter with the Superintendent of. Schools and finds that if the exchange of land -is -made, it would require the relocation of the proposed school as the plane have been developed for the building to face' on the park site. Mrs.'Margaret Moore, member of the Park Committee of the Sterling Gardena Association, told the Council she had discussed the question with the Superintendent of Schools about two months agoi and he was agreeable to the proposed exchange of the land. Mr. Piers was present and stated that he is not willing to sell any o4. his property.' Mr.. William Wise, President of the Sterling Gardens' Home Owners' Association, and another property owner in the area urged the Council' to' take; the necessary action to develop a park in the area, preferably`th'eo larger -one if the land can be acquired.

It had been hoped that approximately five acres could b.e purchased for that amount A suggestion was made by the Mayor that possibly some ar- rangement could be made with the owners for the City to acquire the property but defer the development so that the owner might continue to use it for a few years.` He pointed out that since this is a new- ly annexed area, the development of the park would have a low prior- ity, and that some satisfactory arrangement might be worked out with the property owner as suggested. • On motion of Mitchell and Marshall, the City Manager was requested to investigate the matter further along these lines and bring in a specific recommendation as soon as possible. The Council agreed that it is willing to exercise eminent domain if necessary to acquire the park site. (A recess was taken at this time, 9:00 P.M.; and the Council reconvened at 9:10 P.M.)
