City pauses Ocean View sand-volleyball project after strong public comment; consultant outreach planned
Summary
The city announced a pause to the planned sand-volleyball element of the Ocean View Park rehabilitation project, citing significant public comment both for and against the court; staff said Groundwork (park consultant) will be asked to evaluate alternative locations and next steps.
City staff announced that the sand-volleyball element of the Ocean View Park rehabilitation project is paused to allow further evaluation of alternate locations after “significant public comment both in support and against the project.”
Staff said the city will work with Groundwork (the park master-plan consultant) to evaluate next steps, additional locations and outreach. The city’s announcement directs residents to the construction-projects page on the city website for updates and notes that staff must follow procurement and contract policies before any consultant engagement or work begins.
During questions, staff said sole-source contracting may be considered where appropriate but must meet city policy and administrative review. No formal vote or revised project scope was taken at the meeting; the item was presented as an update and next-steps announcement.
