Board approves service agreement to develop concept design for Olry Park improvements
Summary
The Park Board authorized a services agreement with DLC to produce conceptual designs, cost information and visual sketches for Olry Park, with staff saying construction would likely begin in 2026.
The Park Board voted May 20 to approve a services agreement with a design firm to develop a conceptual plan for Olry Park.
Jamieson (parks staff) told the board the agreement with DLC will produce confirmed numbers, a sketch and visuals to guide improvements. Staff said the work is conceptual and that construction is targeted to begin in 2026; there may be limited preliminary work this fall but no major construction until the summer of 2026. Board members asked about scheduling and land ownership questions; staff said the concept work will clarify those details.
The motion to approve the service agreement was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: the concept design will define scope, cost estimates and visuals needed to pursue funding and schedule construction for Olry Park improvements. The project is still in planning; staff emphasized the approval was for conceptual design work rather than construction contracting.
