Leigh wants Boulder Park included in Memorial lease

City Councilman Tim Leigh wants the University of Colorado Health system to take over financial responsibility of Boulder Park near Memorial Central.

UCH wouldn’t take over ownership of the park but pay for its irrigation and upkeep — saving taxpayers between $40,000 and $50,000 annually, according to Leigh.

“We’re trying to use commercial real estate negotiation savvy to slide something in (the proposed lease) at the last minute,” Leigh said during Wednesday’s Mayor’s Counsel meeting.
