Council continues Pate property discussion, asks for cost estimate before next meeting
Summary
The Pate property discussion was continued to November; council members asked administration to obtain preliminary plans and provide a cost estimate so residents and council can assess funding feasibility before pursuing design work.
The council reviewed the Pate property Oct. 1 and voted to continue the matter to the November meeting to allow for additional planning and a cost estimate. Council members said the Pate project is not as advanced as Colletti and recommended the administration solicit comparable planning work to present options to residents.
Why it matters: A council member asked for a cost estimate to avoid raising residents’ expectations about projects that may not be grant-eligible or could require substantial local funding. The speaker warned against proceeding without figuring out affordability.
At the Oct. 1 meeting, council moved to continue the Pate property item to November and requested that the administration provide an estimated cost for the preferred approach at the next meeting. No votes on zoning or permits were taken.
