Councilman Speck spoke to the significant amount of land that is used by Episcopal High School and the Seminary which, of course, is not on the tax rolls, and they're receiving services from the City in a variety of ways. He queried what, if any, opportunities exist for the City to be more involved in the use of that land, the services the City provides, and the availability of any land that they are not using for City services.




Councilwoman Pepper noted the various developments on this site and expressed concern that the City is losing open space. She questioned if the City gets any kind of input with respect to open space and reported that this concern was raised at the Open Space Summit.

City Manager Sunderland stated that the Open Space Study Group is generally focusing on the Episcopal land but suggested that the Open Space Study Group focus a little more specifically on it.

Mayor Donley stated he'd be happy to have the Open Space Study group take a look at it; however, to Episcopal's defense, he noted several instances where they do permit use of their facilities for community events, students' use for sport activities, and as part of their community service requirement at Episcopal High School, students each year spend a day out in the community doing park cleanups, river cleanups, painting, etc. He stated that he thinks the real question is can the City maximize that or get a little bit bigger play for that request.
