Summary

A council member said landowner Steve Shelton offered two parcels near the south end of 105th Street—transcript references include addresses '1832 Shelton' and '10437' (variously given as 'Barber' and later 'Park')—that could serve as a retention area; council asked members to review the sites.

A council member reported that property owner Steve Shelton may donate two parcels in the Williamson Farms area that could be suitable for stormwater retention or other city needs. The speaker said the parcels are at the south end of 105th Street and listed addresses that the transcript records as '1832 Shelton' and '10437 Barber' (later referenced as '10437 Park'), and urged others to look at the sites.

Speakers described the offer as potentially providing free property for the city but said a site visit and further evaluation would be necessary before any acquisition or use decision. The transcript shows inconsistent references to the second parcel's street name; staff or council follow-up is needed to confirm exact legal descriptions before any formal action.
