land hiding behind a commercial area clearly does not have the same <br />qualities that the current open space does. <br /> <br />Davidson called for anyone else who wished to speak on this <br />subject. <br /> <br />NO};E <br /> <br />Davidson closed the Public Hearing and asked for Council comments. <br /> <br />Howard: <br /> <br />There was an allegation that the <br />City of Louisville has approximately <br />$4 million for the purchase of <br />property. <br /> <br />Brand: <br /> <br />This is in our Budget for 1993. <br />There is approximately $4 million <br />for the development of parks, ball <br />field, and the purchase of some park <br />land.
