City launches neighborhood outreach for Laura Sellmeier park renovation funded by 2022 bond
Summary
Staff described an outreach plan and materials for the Laura Sellmeier neighborhood park project, funded by a $140,000 2022 bond allocation. Notices, banners with QR-code surveys, mailed letters and idea boards will be used at a Nov. 1 public meeting to gather resident preferences about playground replacement, shade and other amenities.
City staff updated the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board on Nov. 1 about outreach for the Laura Sellmeier neighborhood park project, which has $140,000 in funding approved by a 2022 bond.
Andrew (staff) outlined a neighborhood-focused notification strategy that included mailed letters to homes in the immediate area, utility-bill inserts, banner signs with QR-equipped surveys placed at the park and a presence in the city newsletter. Staff said the banner and QR survey already were deployed and that an idea-board format would be used at the Nov. 1 public meeting to gather resident input.
The boards will display multiple design concepts and example playground elements, and staff encouraged board members to attend and speak with neighbors. Staff emphasized the meeting is intended to gather broad input about what residents want for the park within the $140,000 budget and that further refinement and a final recommendation will follow after tabulating survey and meeting input.
Staff said the city will compile meeting responses and return to the board with summarized feedback and a recommended scope; the timeline for final design depends on the options chosen and could extend into 2026.
