DISCUSSION
In April 2007, the City of Merced purchased approximately 38.9 acres from the Garcilazo Family Trust for a future regional park (CP-42) located at the northwest corner of Tyler Road and Mission Avenue.
In June 2013, the City Council authorized the transfer of a portion of the southeast corner to the Water Department for Well Site 20 and has since then leased the remaining portion of the property to Seth Rossow for agricultural use.
