MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL
Request to Include Topic on the City Council Work Session Agenda
From: William L. M. Nary, City Attorney and Meeting Date: December 19, 2023
Steve Siddoway, Parks & Recreation
Director
Topic: Accept Donations of Real Property to Expand Hillsdale Park
Recommended Council Action:
It is recommended that the City Council: (1) accept two generous donations of real property from
the Martin L. Hill Trust ("Trust") and DWT Investments LLC ("DWT") that will enable the City to
expand Hillsdale Park; (2) authorize staff to proceed with a property boundary adjustment to
facilitate the donations; and (3) authorize the Mayor to execute all related documents.
Background:
The City owns and operates Hillsdale Park,which is located at 3801 E. Hill Park Street. The land
for the park was donated by Marti Hill, a long-time Meridian resident who lives next to the park.
Mr. Hill's grandfather homesteaded the property in 1891.
Mr. Hill, via the Trust, now wishes to donate approximately 0.6 acres of additional property ("Hill
Property") to the City to facilitate the expansion of Hillsdale Park.Additionally,the property
owner to the north of Hillsdale Park, DWT, wishes to donate approximately 0.2 acres of property
("DWT Property") to the City for park purposes. The Hill Property and DWT Property are shown
on the attached map.
In order to facilitate the proposed donations, the Trust, DWT, and the City would process a
property boundary adjustment to add the donated property to the Hillsdale Park parcel,which is
identified as "Parcel B" on the attached map.
The Parks and Recreation Department would likely request funding in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget
to improve the donated property for park purposes. It is anticipated that these improvements
would be funded with development impact fees.
