The decision to scale back the amount of parkland developers must dedicate to the city might be reshaped by the next city council, which will be seated following the April 6 city election.
Given that six of nine spots will be decided by the election, a new council may set aside that decision, which lowered required acreage from 7.5 acres per 1,000 residents in a new development to 5.5 acres.
On Feb. 9, Councilors Jill Gaebler, Dave Geislinger, Mike OâMalley, Tom Strand and Wayne Williams voted to scale back dedicated parkland. Yolanda Avila, Don Knight, Bill Murray and Richard Skorman voted against.
But Gaebler is term-limited and will be replaced, and Geislinger and OâMalley, two other âyesâ votes, face opposition in their races. (OâMalley was appointed to fill an unexpired term in January.)Â
Candidate Elevator Pitch
Jim Mason: I am running for City Council, District 1 because I want to assist in shaping Colorado Springs’ future and to continue the successful and forward-thinking work that has led to significant improvements with infrastructure and the restoration of Downtown. I promise to serve with competence, respect, and relentless energy in deciding the best courses of action in support of the continued security and prosperity of Colorado Springs and its residents. For over 15 years, I have served at the grassroots level in volunteer roles including Director, Colorado Springs School District 11 Board of Education and as a Commissioner with the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority Board. Through this experience, I understand the challenges and opportunities confronting District 1 and Colorado Springs.
