Don Jones Park Potential Property Sale Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore presented to the council the potential property sale of .07 acres at Don Jones Park to develop a small housing complex on vacant land adjacent to the park. Staff would request that if the property was surplus, the money should go to install additional gazebos in the park. The council questioned the access to Wind Song Lane from the new development. Staff responded that it would likely be a right-in-right-out off of the Wind Song Lane extension, and Singing Grass Dr would be where a left- _ hand turn could be made. The council would like the city to move forward with selling the property, as it does not benefit the city and could use an additional gazebo. C. Drones in Parks The Parks and Public Works Director presented to the council a discussion on drones in parks. As the city does not currently have a policy on this, staff is seeking direction from the council on how they would like to proceed. The council would like a policy with some leniency that allows the use of drones. Staff will bring back a few draft options for the council to review. 9 Mayor's Report Mayor Williams reported that he attended the Medford Chamber Forum meeting. 10 City Manager's Report City Manager Chris Clayton reported that: • There was a news article in the RV Times today regarding the use of Jet Boats on the Rogue River. • He and the Finance Director have been looking at revenues as it is property tax time, property taxes are increasing by 4% this year.
