Council asks for feasibility work on city‑owned 'Sun and Moon' property; RFP, drone and boundary survey suggested
Summary
City staff and a planner introduced initial analysis for the city‑owned 'Sun and Moon' property, recommending a drone flight, boundary survey and an RFP for a feasibility and visioning study estimated at roughly $30,000–$60,000; council asked staff to return with an RFP outline and additional site analysis next month.
Planner Matt introduced preliminary 2‑D drawings and recommended further analysis to assess the Sun and Moon property for potential community or municipal use. He proposed using a drone flight to create an accurate 3‑D topographic mesh, conducting a building‑condition assessment and defining community needs before drafting a request for proposals (RFP).
On estimated costs, Matt said, "I would think somewhere in the tune of 30 to $60,000 or something like that," when asked about a feasibility and visioning study. Council members encouraged a boundary survey, parking and footprint analysis, and consultation with current planning to confirm zoning and setback limitations. Several council members suggested the feasibility firm should craft community‑survey questions to avoid premature outreach.
Council directed staff to keep the item on the next meeting agenda with an update and suggested drafting an outline for an RFP and a possible community survey. Staff also noted the property lease expires in August and that the council should consider whether to extend the lease or take possession in later discussions.
