COUNCILLOR INQUIRIES

 

3.1.

Lots Owned by Terwillegar Towne Residents' Association
(B. Anderson)

 

 

 

In Terwillegar Towne there were a number of lots owned by the Terwillegar Towne Residents’ Association that are passive open space.  The majority of resources generated by the Terwillegar Towne Residents’ Association are going directly to the property taxes and maintenance of these sites, however the Terwillegar Towne Residents’ Association is not generating a significant benefit from ownership.  Through discussions with the Terwillegar Towne Residents’ Association and with Administration it may be possible to find a solution in order to deal with the above concerns.

 

Based on the above, I ask that

Administration provide the following information:

·        The process by which the City could acquire these properties from the Terwillegar Towne Residents’ Association, including the costs and benefits to the City.

·        The possibility of working with the Terwillegar Towne Residents’ Association to ensure the ongoing maintenance of the properties, if the properties were to be acquired by the City.
