He has no knowledge of anyone having contacted him or any city department head indicating their desire to withdraw their name from the petition. Councilperson Fox inquired if it would not be fair to contact the 11 families, who have asked about acquisition and buyouts, to see if they still wanted to be part of this petition before the Council takes action. Mr. Field stated that he had to be candid and guess that it probably would. He does not know if they have a right to withdraw their names. Mark Boesen, Community Development Administrator, stated that $723,000 has been earmarked for acquisition, relocation and demolition of properties in the Sherwood Park area neighborhood. If the deannexation goes through, we would have to put that project on hold and reallocate that money to other projects because we cannot spend any money on projects that are outside the city limits. There are 35 homes in the Sherwood Park area, of which 11 have asked for acquisition. This is strictly a voluntary program and there will be no condemnation involved.
