Orozco, Norma <br />From: Ayan Ortega <info@email.actionnetwork.org> <br />Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2021 11:55 AM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Make Willowick a Publicly Accessible Park with 100% Affordable Housing <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />Council Member City Council, <br />I am writing in support of the Rise Up Willowick Coalition to urge the Mayor and the Garden <br />Grove City Council to follow the Surplus Land Act by giving super -priority to the Trust for <br />Public Land's proposal as the City engages in the 90-day good faith negotiations." This land <br />is owned by us, the public and we believe the City is still trying to monetize this land by <br />asserting that this land is worth $90 million and therefore negating the Surplus Land Act. We <br />do not want to pay for this land twice. Losing Willowick is irreversible. Follow the Surplus <br />Land Act and give super -priority to Trust for Public Land's proposal. It is the only proposal <br />that both follows the law and aligns with the community's vision. The Surplus Land Act <br />process is a public process for publicly -owned land. I urge you to make the 90-day <br />negotiation process transparent to the public by explaining publicly how the City is prioritizing <br />proposals. <br />Ayan Ortega <br />bmortega.la@gmaii.com <br />2601 E.
