First of all, why is it his responsibility to do any thing? The deed is conditional upon the city upholding it's end of the deal. Clearly the city is not.
Further...and just as clear- he accepted services to the park in lieu of a cash payment for property the City needed and he controlled. Would you require him to get the cash from the city THEN go out and use it to purchase new equipment?
Detroit ...as is so often pointed out here... has far too much parkland to deal with. It cannot be maintained and they [[generally) can not be sold. Give it back. Make it his problem. Generate tax revenue...or blight tickets.. either way, it;s not the city's problem anymore.
