Description
Appellants, a group of citizens from Rolla, Missouri, petitioned for declaratory and injunctive relief in order to prohibit the City of Rolla, Missouri ("the City"), from selling property known as Buehler Park ("the Park"). This case marks the fourth time that the controversy surrounding the Citys sale of the Park has come before this Court. See Ours v. City of Rolla ("Buehler Park I"), 965 S.W.2d 343 (Mo. App. S.D. 1998); Ours v. City of Rolla ("Buehler Park II"), 14 S.W.3d 627 (Mo. App. S.D. 2000); Citizens for the Preservation of Buehler Park v. City of Rolla ("Buehler Park III"), 187 S.W.3d 359 (Mo. App. S.D. 2006). The trial court found: [Appellants] herein have standing as taxpayers and that the language contained in the deed from the Rolla Chamber of Commerce or its predecessor to [the City], in 1958, did not dedicate the property to public use forever but, instead, conveyed the property to [the City] subject to a defeasible fee retained by the Rolla Chamber of Commerce and not in trust subject to a dedication to public use; and any interest retained by the Rolla Chamber of Commerce prior to its corporation quit claim deed of April 14, 1997, was relinquished and transferred to [the City] by that instrument.
