Ridgetop board accepts donated greenway for Ridgetop Station Park
Summary
On Jan. 21, 2025 the Ridgetop Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved acceptance of a donated greenway (the Adam Polo Plat) to become part of Ridgetop Station Park; the city attorney recommended the city’s acknowledgement letter not state a value.
The Ridgetop Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted on Jan. 21, 2025 to accept a donated greenway from Adam Polo for use as Ridgetop Station Park. Vice Mayor Harrison moved to approve the Adam Polo Plat; Alderman Gregory seconded, and the motion carried with the board recording "Voting Aye: All." The transcript records the vote as unanimous; individual vote names were not listed.
City Attorney Russell Freeman told the board that Adam Polo is making the property donation and recommended the city issue a letter acknowledging receipt of the donation but not stating a valuation. "It is my recommendation that the letter only states the acknowledgement of the donation and not make any recommendation of the value as the property," Freeman said, adding that valuation is a matter for the donor's tax professional.
The motion to accept the plat was made during the board's new-business portion and was adopted without recorded dissent. The board did not provide further procedural details in the meeting about recordation of the plat, timeline for park improvements or related funding; those matters were not specified in the transcript.
The board moved on to other agenda items after adopting the plat; no additional public comment on the donation is included in the meeting transcript.
