SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Many Homeowner’s Associations (HOAs) in Erie contain pocket parks on land owned by the Town of Erie but maintained by the HOA. The Town owns the subject properties that currently houses three Grandview HOA’s pocket parks. If the Town Council approves Agenda item 24-245, the Town and the Grandview HOA will enter into a Reimbursement Agreement that requires the HOA to take ownership of the property in order to seek reimbursement of funds for the update of the playground on the subject property.
The attached ordinance is to authorize the transfer of property to the Grandview at Erie HOA for the Association to make improvements to the pocket park playground on the property.
