Pre-council reviews amended resolution to condemn Patton Lake for public park in Woodland Hills
Summary
City staff presented an amended resolution to authorize condemnation proceedings for Patton Lake in Woodland Hills; the amendment adds property descriptions and a survey map to an earlier packet that included only parcel IDs. No final vote on the condemnation was recorded during the pre-council discussion.
Tom, a city staff member presenting the agenda, told the Tuscaloosa City pre-council that an amended resolution would authorize acquisition by condemnation for Patton Lake in the Woodland Hills neighborhood. He said the earlier packet contained only parcel ID numbers; the amendment now includes property descriptions and a copy of the survey map.
"Patton Lake is a plan for the city is condemning that plan for a public park," Tom said, explaining the purpose of the amended resolution and noting the project had been discussed in the projects committee. Council members asked for clarification about where the item originated; Tom said the amendment came from the city office and that the project had previously been before the projects committee.
The matter was presented as an amended resolution and described as coming from the city office; councilors did not take a final vote on the condemnation during the pre-council review. The staff presentation indicated the amended packet contains a survey and specific property descriptions not included in the initial resolution request.
The item will proceed to the council agenda for formal consideration and any required votes; the pre-council discussion did not include a recorded vote on the substantive resolution.
