Collegedale Commissioners Weigh Whether To Accept Little Debbie Park; 31 Apply To Be City Manager Tuesday, April 6, 2021 - by Gail Perry
Collegedale commissioners are undecided about accepting the gift of a city park from the McKee corporation. They all agreed that it would be a great park and would add value to the city. However, it also would have the potential of costing Collegedale so much for their part of the agreement and for park maintenance that property taxes would have to be raised, officials said Monday night.
Plans for the park were prepared and negotiated during the past two years by former City Manager Ted Rogers without informing the mayor or members of the commission, the city attorney or anyone from the parks and recreation department, it was stated.
