Telfair Park in Sylmar was built and used as a public park, but the land is still owned by the Tessera Sylmar Inc. Homeowners Association. A Council motion directs Recreation and Parks and General Services to accept the donation, with $35,000 for transfer costs and $5,000 for an environmental assessment from Council District 7 funds.
