Committee approves purchase of parcels 103 and 104 to secure creek access

The Turnbull Creek Preservation Committee voted to proceed with purchasing parcels 103 and 104 after members said those parcels provide direct access to the creek and would serve as staging areas for restoration or maintenance.

Member Hartman moved to purchase lots 103 and 104; the motion was seconded and carried on a roll call in which members recorded affirmative votes. Staff said the seller has not yet accepted the latest offers on some nearby parcels and that an independent appraisal submitted by sellers was pending; the committee asked staff to await appraisal results for 106/107 before raising offers further.
