<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Chris, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a Municipal Open Space District that was created in 1999, I believe concurrent with the City's acquisition of a large pond and adjacent open space area. I say this because it only applies in that one location and has never been
expanded to include other open space acquired by the City, or otherwise. You can find the text here:
