Buildings & Grounds outlines plan to expand Foundation Park parking to 320 spaces and soundproof executive room
Summary
Buildings & Grounds reported plans to expand Foundation Park gravel parking from about 200 to 320 spaces in $100,000 phases, install a post-and-cable fence (roughly $40,000 if done now), and to soundproof a room for executive sessions; a fire alarm replacement is planned for spring.
Pataskala’s Buildings & Grounds committee presented a phased plan to expand the gravel parking area at Foundation Park from roughly 200 spaces to about 320, along with related facilities work.
Committee members said the parking expansion would be carried out in roughly $100,000 phases to align with current budget constraints. The committee also discussed adding a post-and-cable fence along the park roadway’s eastern border; doing the fence now rather than spread across phases would cost just under $40,000, staff said. The committee recommended phasing work to spread cost over multiple budget cycles if necessary.
Committee members additionally reported plans to convert a back room into a soundproofed executive-session space and noted a fire-alarm replacement scheduled for spring, expected to be complete by May. No formal contract awards or final funding allocations were recorded in the spoken record during this meeting; the committee asked council for support in coordinating planning and budgeting for the proposed phases.
