Hammit said the city application for Canada Hill land made in 1963 was apparently based on the fear that the government was going to dispose of its Canada Hill holdings, He said the city application combined both water and recreation use without really spelling Out specific needs, Hammit noted the land could be obtained in two ways--through lease at 25 cents per acre on a patent basis for $1.25 per acre. He suggested that the city determine what land is needed for reservoir expansion and then reapply on a water use basis only, He added that this could be done on the basis of a lease, When it was finally determined what the city's overall needs were, the holdings could be converted to patent, He also assured the council that the government was not going to dump the lands, He pointed out that under rulings by the Secretary of the Interior, the role of BLM was changing from that of merely a disposal agency tothat of management, It was pointed out that under this concept it might be possible for the BLM, the city or the county to become partners in developing the recreation potential of Canada Hill. The council directed city manager Beryl Robinson and public works director Norman Oats to make a determination of the city land needs at Canada Hill and then go ahead and work with BLM to draw up anew application for land for the water development, Hal Raymond, representing the Nevada City Art Association, asked the council to aid and support forthe annual Artists Christmas Fair to be staged in The Gallery on Commercial Street Nov. 27 and 28 He pointed out that the Fair is gaining fame all over the state and as a gesture to the many visitors askedif the parking meters could be covered on Nov, 27.
